Unlike yesterday's movie, today's violent core is not only fun but redemptive.

Meaning, that it is fun. That it is violent. But the violence leads to something at the end. Moral virtue.

And there is one other thing. There is the dog.

It has been a long long time since I have seen a good dog movie. And when all is said and done that is what this film is about.

It is a meld of a whole bunch of Hollywood clichés wrapped in one concussive piece. Bang bang bang!

Guy Ritchie's

Snatch (2000)

Another asset here, surprisingly, is the presence of Brad Pitt resurrected from a dead and boring career.

And so on.

Also a bunch of other actors who I like a lot and do not see enough. Dennis Farina for one.

I would gladly watch this film again. It is fun. Did I say that? It is violent in a purgative way. Very hard to do, see yesterdays awful gore fest.

There are a lot of toughs in this film. All of them perfectly thuggish.

Oh. The title. No it is not about that snatch. It is about the other one, a feat of robbery. But there is a double entendré here not just what you think.

Have a good time. A Netflix4 out of 5.
