Read it in one sitting!

Movie script writing is one of the most lucrative ways of writing these days... and yet screenplays are so difficult to get hold of. This is a great script of a great film. If you're just a fan of the movie or an aspiring scriptwriter, this is for you. Some of the classic "one liners" in this movie get an extra shine when you read them from the page while the scene plays in your mind. Well worth it!

Great film, great script --- snatch

This is a great script! I've seen the film quite a few times, and it was still very interesting to read this script. It's very fun-reading, has some pictures from the film to accompany some scenes and contains original English slang, which makes it a great value! :-)

Liked the movie? Love the screenplay

If you loved Guy Ritchie's first major movie, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, you're sure to love his second movie, Snatch. Like the movie, the shooting script is fast-paced, sharp and amusing. From the introduction to the original script, filled with black and white photos of certain scenes, much like the movie, you can't stop until you're finished.However, if you were expecting the same humor and nonserious nature of Lock, Stock... you may be in for a surprise. Snatch is a bit more serious at times and works with very different scenery.Guy Ritchie wins this fight.
