Essay About Brad Pitt And Alan Fords Brick Top

I saw the first showing of Snatch in my town this past Friday. I loved it. I am quite a fan of Guy Ritchies first and was expecting more of the same with Snatch. Rarely do a films opening credits hype an audience as much as Snatch. Quick paced action-to-freeze-frame-cuts introduce each cast member in situations that identify their character sort. Then were right in it. Its true, similarities abound between Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. From Vinnie Jones characters tough as nails negotiating means, to oft referred to in-jokes between characters (Zee Germans here compared to Tubby Tommy in LS&2SB). Still the film is fresh and not really a Lock, Stock take 2 of any sort. The humor is more frequent in this one and a major difference is how dark this film is compared to the previous. Alan Fords Brick Top is the meanest SOB I can remember on film since Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs. Brad Pitt is a standout too as the never to be trusted One Punch Mickey-hes not as incomprehensible as the trailers make him out to be, but still that pikey accent is a huge laugh.
