	Media	Author	Review
		Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Even if it's not quite as lighter than air as its predecessor, Snatch remains a lethal diversion"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Ritchie's got something all his own: a go-for-broke energy that cuts through the cliches of the crime genre"
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Follows the 'Lock, Stock' formula so slavishly it could be like a new arrangement of the same song (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Jonathan Foreman New York Post	"A deeply pleasurable combination of verbal flair and visual wit"
		Andrew Pulver The Guardian	"Ritchie films all this activity with typically impressive stylistic flourishes, which effectively dilutes the lameness of much of the director's gag-writing"
		Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"Ritchie seems to be stepping backward when he should be moving ahead. He gives this picture a little more emotional weight, but not so much that it gets in the way of its entertaining swagger."
		Ben Falk BBC	"A disappointment (...) due to the fact that writer/director Guy Ritchie hasn't built on the promise he initially showed (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Andrew Collins Empire	"If you liked 'Lock, Stock', you’ll like this. The turns are superb (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"It’s not a sequel, not a remake; it’s reheated Ritchie (...) The visual jokes are the same (...) and many of the actors are the same."
		Radio Times	"Although 'Snatch' has its merits (...) the diamond heist and East End Mob plot are just more of the same (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
