Snatch (2000), directed by Guy Ritchie, is often hailed as one of the most stylish, chaotic, and endlessly quotable films of its era. But what the f*ck actually happened to this madcap crime caper—how did it come to be, and what hurdles did it face during production? Let’s take a deep dive into the creation of this frenetic film, a project that fused diamond heists, underground boxing, and an ensemble cast of unforgettable characters into one wildly entertaining package. Buckle up, because the story behind Snatch is as unpredictable as the film itself.

The success of Guy Ritchie’s debut film, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), was a game-changer for the British film industry. Made on a modest budget of $1.35 million, Lock, Stock was a smash hit, grossing over $28 million and earning Ritchie accolades as the next big thing in British cinema. Hollywood took notice, and Ritchie...

The Speak No Evil remake features raw and realistic action, creating a psychological thriller. Director James Watkins aims to evoke fear with a less explicit, but equally tense, horror film. Early reviews praise Speak No Evil as nail-biting and uncomfortable, hinting at meeting high expectations.

The stunt coordinator for the Speak No Evil remake teases the film's action. A remake of the Danish film of the same name, Speak No Evil tells the story of two couples who spend time together in the bucolic countryside, only for one of them to discover that something more sinister is afoot. The horror film features a leading cast including James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, Scoot McNairy, Aisling Franciosi, Alix West Lefler, and Dan Hough. It is directed by James Watkins and set for release on September 13.

"Every piece of action should feel like it hurts when it would hurt in real life." Universal has revealed a few new behind-the-scenes featurettes for The 355, an espionage action thriller starring a set of international women as five spies who must work together to recover a top-secret weapon in order to save the world from danger (of course). Sounds exciting, doesn't it? You can also check out the full-length official trailer here. Jessica Chastain, Diane Kruger, Lupita Nyong'o, Penélope Cruz, and Fan Bingbing co-star as the five leading ladies. This one also co-stars Sebastian Stan, Edgar Ramírez, and Emilio Insolera. With cinematography by Tim Maurice-Jones. This was originally set to open last year, but is now opening in the first week of January in select theaters. Dumping grounds for a movie like this, but also the kind of dumb action movie that is perfect to enjoy in January anyway.

"We put ourselves in danger, so that others are not." Universal has dropped in a second official trailer for The 355, an espionage thriller starring a set of international women as five spies who must work together to recover a top-secret weapon in order to save the world from danger (of course).

Kinberg's The 355 now opens on January 7th, 2022 at the beginning of next year. Does it still look any good? Will it be worth the wait? Here's the...

"I like the new team." "We'll take it from here." Universal has revealed the first official trailer for The 355, an espionage thriller starring a set of international women as five spies who must work together to recover a top-secret weapon in order to save the world from danger (of course).

This definitely looks like the all-women Mission: Impossible movie that everyone has tried to make, but it has never been this much fun before. I'm down! An exciting team-up even though the setup is entirely cliche (stop World War III!). Enjoy. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster...

A rouge CIA agent helps a small-time criminal in the intense-action film, The Take, available now on Digital HD and on Blu-ray and DVD on February 7, 2017 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. This powerful story stars Idris Elba (Star Trek Beyond, Beast of No Nation) and Richard Madden (Game of Thrones).The Take Blu-ray™ and DVD include exciting bonus content that take viewers on a journey behind-the-scenes and inside the making of the film.

Idris Elba stars as Sean Briar, a rogue CIA agent who isn’t afraid to step on a few toes to solve a case. While roaming the streets of Paris, a pickpocket (Richard Madden) swipes a bag containing a bomb and inadvertently ruins a bank heist attempt by corrupt French government officials. Now labeled as a terrorist threat and running for his life, the only person who can save him is Sean. This unlikely duo join forces...

These days, it seems you can’t go to a film, turn on your television or surf the net without coming across Idris Elba and the army of adoring fans he’s amassed over the years. The English actor has been working overseas since the mid-1990s but really broke through in North America as Russell “Stringer” Bell on the critically acclaimed HBO drama The Wire.

Since then, Elba has headlined the popular BBC crime drama Luther and appeared in countless films, including the Thor series, Netflix drama Beasts of No Nation and this summer’s Star Trek Beyond. Next, he’ll lead the much-anticipated film adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower. But with such a versatile resume, how does Elba’s newest film, The Take, measure up?

Previously titled Bastille Day, the movie sees Elba play CIA Agent Sean Briar, who’s charged with foiling a terrorist...

Nb: This interview contains a bit of swearing.

It’s after eight on an autumn evening at Pinewood Studios, and another hard day’s filming has just finished on the set of Kick-Ass 2. As the dozens of extras exit the sound stage, we take a look around at the oppulent space around us for the first time; this is the lair of Christopher Mintz-Plasse’s villain, and as you might expect from a young, slightly sociopathic comic book villain, it’s packed full of expensive cars, arcade machines, plush furniture, a bar, and somewhat incongruously (if you haven’t read Mark Millar’s source comic), there’s a gigantic water tank with a dead shark in it.

It was in this huge, extravagant...

After several false starts and weak efforts, the much-promised revival of Hammer horror films has finally come to fruition with the release of The Woman in Black, an old-fashioned ghost story that ranks with the finest achievements of the legendary British production company. The story is set in the early 1900s. Daniel Radcliffe gives an excellent performance as Arthur Kipps, a young London-based lawyer who is already a widower, his beloved wife having died while giving birth to their son. Kipps tries his best to juggle being a single parent with the demands of his profession, but his unrelenting grief prevents him from fulfilling his duties at the office. His boss gives him one last chance to redeem himself by sending him to a remote village to investigate a complicated insurance situation relating to a recently deceased person. Arriving in the village, Kipps discovers that the relatively...

There’s nothing quite like an eerie, old-fashioned ghost tale – the mystery behind the haunting that envelops you, the charming haunted old house, the townsfolk who dare not utter a word out loud about the horror and of course, the unsettling ghostly reveals. Make no mistake, The Woman In Black is a fine example of the very effective and engaging ghost tale I’ve just described and one that will have you looking over your shoulder long after the credits has rolled.

Based on the novel of the same name by Susan Hill, The Woman In Black follows young solicitor Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe), who is coping with the loss of his wife after she gave birth to their son Joseph (Misha Handley) four years ago.

Kipps is soon assigned to settle the estate of Alice Drablow, who owned a magnificent English manor, known as the Eel Marsh House,...

The Woman in Black is a return to period horror for Hammer Studios. It is based on a 1983 novel written by Susan Hill, which was later adapted into a stage play, as well as a successful television movie in 1989. The play is still running at the Fortune Theater in London's West End, but I can't say this current version will enjoy such success. While it has some terrific moments, most occur in the second half of the film, sandwiched between an annoying first half and a misguided ending.

The film takes place in England during the early 1900s, established when the film opens on three young girls playing with dolls and a tea set in their bedroom. But soon, something distracts the girls from...

The Woman in Black

UK / Canada / Sweden, 2012

Nowadays, “old-fashioned” is generally meant as a compliment in discussions of contemporary movies, in conjunction with an overarching sense that new films – particularly mainstream films – are not as sharp or high-minded as their counterparts from decades past. In the case of The Woman In Black, though, we can safely revert “old-fashioned” back to its traditional, pejorative meaning; hoary, creaky, outdated, too-familiar. The film’s one-sheet is more effectively creepy than the film itself.

This is doubly disappointing considering the source; James Watkins previously helmed the truly vicious chavsploitation thriller Eden Lake. That film took a familiar genre touchstone – the killer-kids flick – and found a novel, relevant spin. The Woman in Black, meanwhile, is entirely content to recycle plot points seen countless times, and its unconvincing turn-of-the-last-century setting might explain...

We’re ten years on in Guy Ritchie’s career, and from all evidence he’s about to turn the corner into pure commercial filmmaking. For most people there’s only one answer to what derailed him, and that is: Madonna. The pre-Madonna years featured Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Snatch, the Madonna years featured Swept Away and Revolver, and the post-Madonna’s are now Rocknrolla and Sherlock Holmes, which should be one of the big pictures of 2009. My review of Guy’s Ritchie’s first film after this jump.

Lock, Stock is one of the numerous 90’s crime films to come in the wake of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. It’s a genre that burnt itself out rapidly, with only people like Bryan Singer and Christopher McQuarrie proving themselves above the fray. The majority of the genre was overheated pabulum like Things to Do...

As has been noted by a good many, the best to be said about the shrug-worthy Filth and Wisdom (the feature film debut, as co-writer and director, of Madonna) is that it ain’t half-bad - leave it to the Material Girl to confound all knife-sharpened expectations, even in mediocrity. The setting is present-day London, but the vibe is pure early- to mid-1980s, very much redolent of the downtown New York art scene (Haring, Warhol, et al at its head) in which Madonna honed her persona and trade. The characters, then, are all ideological/emotional facets of Ms. Ciccone, two-dimensional abstracts brought to life by a game cast (with magnetic-’n’-mustachioed Gogol Bordello frontman Eugene Hutz as wry narrator), each of them moving through cramped and subtly color-coded settings that Dp Tim Maurice-Jones photographs with all the drab intimacy of a hastily executed Fassbinder mïlo.

Release Date: Oct. 17

Director: Madonna

Writers: Madonna, Dan Cadan

Cinematographer: Tim Maurice-Jones

Starring: Eugene Hutz, Holly Weston, Vicky McClure, Richard E. Grant

Studio/Run Time: IFC, 81 mins.

Crisply written, maturely mild sex comedy from the one-time Material Girl

Madonna’s directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom, contains the expected: strippers, light S&M, erotic poetry. But, co-written with Guy Ritchie associate Dan Cadan, it also has crisp banter, endearing characters and the magnetism of Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hutz, whose narrator, A.K., fronts a struggling gypsy-punk band in London while he beats up pervs for money on the side. For saints, “filth will appear as an oasis,” he says early, facing the camera, puppy-eyed. Throughout, the ensemble—including blind poet Professor Flynn (a dignified Richard E. Grant)—treats depravity as a resource, a way of accessing freedom. A.K.’s ballerina flatmate—the genuinely sweet Holly Watson—gradually finds herself after...

The most obvious thing one can say about Filth and Wisdom is that it's the directorial debut of Madonna. And the most surprising thing one can say about it is that, for all its narrative and aesthetic shortcomings, it's not half-bad. Certainly, Madonna tackles what she knows, which in this case is a collection of related stories linked by the overriding message that no profound knowledge can be attained without degradation first being experienced, a sentiment the Material Girl has been pushing in one form or another at least since 1992's Erotica and its infamous companion tome Sex. If embracing your inner skank is the path to enlightenment, then Madonna must now be the Dalai Lama. And yet despite the juvenile maxims spouted by Eugene Hutz - the lead singer of gypsy-punk outfit Gogol Bordello (which provides much of the soundtrack), here playing a variation of himself named A.K.
