Title: Let's face it: imitators are never as good as the originals
Review: I never understood the hype that this movie received when there were movies like Trainspotting and Pulp Fiction. Now, I am not implying that both of those movies were completely original, but they took so many different influences and completely melded them into a new organic whole. As for Guy Ritchie, his only two touchpoints are Tarantino and Boyle. Even in the beginning of "Lock, Stock" it had the slow-motion running scene with the rockin' music playing in the background. C'mon Ritchie, get a freaking clue!Anyway, his new movie "Snatch" (what a clever title!) is out, and I couldn't even bring myself to the theatre to watch it. Funny, my friend told me there was this scene where one of the characters "accidentally" shoots a guy in the head while waving his gun around -- c'mon folks, it was funny the first time. It's just plain obnoxious the second time around.
Is the review positive or negative?
