Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrells was, by far, the superiour film. Original, amusing, engaging...
Snatch, on the other hand, was entirely derivative. He might as well as called it Lock, Stock and Three Smoking Barrells. It also had a bit too much gratuitous violence. Brad Pitt did a great Irish "tinker" accent though (and I should know, having grown up with them calling to our house begging all the time).
Lock, Stock = Top Marks
Snatch = Trying to replicate his own originality & success and just not getting there...
