What happens

Snatch is a 2000 crime comedy film written and directed by Guy Ritchie, and produced by Matthew Vaughn. It stars an ensemble cast, featuring Jason Statham, Stephen Graham, Dennis Farina, Brad Pitt, Alan Ford, Benicio del Toro, Lennie James, Rade Šerbedžija, Jason Flemyng, and Vinnie Jones. Set in the London criminal underworld, the film contains two intertwined plots: one following the search for a stolen diamond, and the other focusing on a small-time boxing promoter (Statham) who becomes embroiled with a ruthless gangster (Ford) willing to carry out severe and sadistic acts of violence. Snatch shares themes and stylistic elements with Ritchie's first feature, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and includes many of the same actors. It is noted for its fast-paced editing, ensemble storytelling, and dark comedic tone. The film was released in the United Kingdom by Columbia TriStar on 1 September 2000, and was both a critical and commercial success. A television series spin-off premiered in 2017.
