4K Ultra HD Review – Snatch (2001)
Directed by Guy Ritchie.
Starring Brad Pitt, Jason Statham, Benicio del Toro, Dennis Farina, Jason Flemyng, Vinnie Jones, and Rade Serbedzija.
SYNOPSIS:
Guy Ritchie’s second movie,
Snatch, arrives in 4K with an accompanying Blu-ray that’s the same disc issued in 2009. If you’re looking for a visual upgrade to that old platter, though, you can’t go wrong here, although you should note that no new bonus features were created for this release.
Looking back on the 90s, it feels like a time when many filmmakers were trying to push the envelope, putting new visual and narrative styles in front of audiences and seeking to move film as a storytelling medium in new directions. That decade was also a pretty fallow period for superhero movies, so there was a bit of a vacuum in which directors like Guy Ritchie could get attention for making movies that were more character-driven than the many CGI-laden spectacles we have these days.
