Crime genre research - SNATCH


The 2000 British gangster film directed by Guy Richie is set in the London criminal underworld, the film contains two intertwined plots: one dealing with the search for a stolen diamond, the other with a small-time boxing promoter named Turkish who finds himself under the thumb of a ruthless gangster known as Brick Top. The film features an assortment of colourful characters, including gypsy Mickey O'Neil , arms-dealer Boris "the Blade" Yurinov, professional thief and gambling addict Frankie "Four-Fingers", American gangster-jeweler "Cousin Avi", and bounty hunter Bullet-Tooth Tony. It is also distinguished by a kinetic direction and editing style, a circular plot featuring numerous ironic twists of chance and causality, and a fast pace.

This film gave me the idea to make my own British set crime film because I think that the characters, humour, story and setting makes the film really interesting and its an atmosphere that i will hopefully create with my foundation film project.
