Snatch (2000)
Trailer
The second film from British director Guy Ritchie. Snatch tells an obscure story similar to his first fast-paced crazy character-colliding filled film “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.” There are two overlapping stories here – one is the search for a stolen diamond, and the other about a boxing promoter who’s having trouble with a psychotic gangster.

Aladdin
Disney continues its series of adaptations of great animated classics to live-action version. The result with 'Aladdin' is mixed, as it has the virtue of reinventing the story for a new generation, with some changes in Princess Jasmine, as well as spectacular special effects. On the other hand, it does not reach the same level as the original production, despite the efforts of Will Smith - although the actor manages an original interpretation for the genie, he has the ungrateful shadow of the work of Robin Williams, who did the original voice of the character in the 1990s feature film. The direction is by Guy Ritchie, from the acclaimed 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels'.
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
The classic medieval story of King Arthur has been interpreted and reinterpreted many times on the big screen. There's animation ("The Sword was the Law"), children's films ("The Boy Who Wanted to Be King") and even satires ("Monty Python and the Holy Grail"). Now, in this version, filmmaker Guy Ritchie ("Snatch: Pigs and Diamonds", "Aladdin") puts his style and aesthetic on the legend of the man who recovered the Excalibur sword. With good performances from Charlie Hunnam ("Sons of Hope") and Jude Law ("Closer: Too Close"), the director plays with the narrative by mixing events, altering the timeline and creating an hallucinating rhythm in this already known story. Thus, the great differential here is in relation to the treatment of the story and the new look that it gains under Ritchie's command, who has already created his own mark in cinema. Not everyone will like the way the story is approached, full of comings and goings, but it is undeniable that the movie surprises and knows how to bring news with scenes of action, adventure and pursuit full of life and good surprises.
The Gentlemen
Beloved and hated in equal proportions, filmmaker Guy Ritchie has managed to imprint his own style on the cinema. His films, 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' and 'Snatch', feature an insane rhythm, intelligent editing and stories that delve into various plots and characters. In 'The Gentlemen', this is no different. Here, the director uses his already traditional style to tell the story of an American expatriate trying to sell his million-dollar marijuana business in London, generating unpredictable effects. The story is flavorful, the rhythm is insane and, above all, the entire cast is spectacular - with special mention to Matthew McConaughey and Charlie Hunnam. An intense, and even complicated, movie but that rewards at the end with a well-tied plot and Ritchie exercising his energetic and striking direction again.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Based on the successful TV series and the spy films of the 60s, 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.', hugely popular at the time. Directed by Guy Ritchie ('Sherlock Holmes', 'RocknRolla'), the movie features very flashy action sequences in the usual style of the director, although behind them lies a banal, somewhat extravagant script in the era of Daniel Craig's James Bond, with a tone that lies between 'Casino Royale' and 'Get Smart'. The movie is rescued by its undeniable spectacularity and the charisma of a cast led by Henry Cavill ('Man of Steel'), Armie Hammer ('Call Me By Your Name'), Alicia Vikander ('The Danish Girl') and Elizabeth Debicki ('The Great Gatsby').
Wrath of Man
Jason Statham in another action movie where revenge is the only solution to his problems. In 'Wrath of Man', the star is the highly trained security guard seeking vengeance for the death of his son. Directed by Guy Ritchie, this is the fourth time the actor has partnered with the director - which began back in 1998 with 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' and was further deepened in 2000 with 'Snatch: Pigs and Diamonds'. Filled with great action sequences, this movie will please those who enjoy stories of retribution with plenty of adrenaline.
Sherlock Holmes
Guy Ritchie's style doesn't seem like an appropriate choice to direct a cinematic adventure of the classic Arthur Conan Doyle character, but for times of modernization and reinterpretation of canons, it works very well. This version of 'Sherlock Holmes' is, it must be said, more spectacular than cerebral, which may sound antithetical to the character, but works as a fun introduction to his universe, more in the style of an action-packed adventure than a suspense movie. The highlight is the performances, with a phenomenal Robert Downey Jr. accompanied by a solid cast that includes Jude Law, Rachel McAdams and Mark Strong.
Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre
Since 'Snatch', director Guy Ritchie has tried to step out of his comfort zone with family fantasies like 'Aladdin', epics like 'King Arthur' and period mysteries like 'Sherlock Holmes'. However, it's clear he's back in his element when he goes into action, like in 'The Infiltrator' (with Jason Statham) or, even better, in the worlds of cynical and charismatic criminals like in 'The Gentlemen'. In 'Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre', we're halfway between both, with mixed results. The plot follows superspy Orson Fortune (Statham), who must make an uncomfortable alliance with other agents to stop billionaire criminal Greg Simmonds (Hugh Grant). How? By using his favorite Hollywood actor, Danny Francesco (Josh Hartnett) as an infiltrator. There are some poorly crafted elements and others that work very well, like Aubrey Plaza ('White Lotus'), who takes a lot of jokes from the whole thing and from Ritchie's own "formula". The director has found his niche and feels comfortable in it: if you know his movies, you already know what to expect from the feature film, for better or for worse.
Comedy
Carmen Vidal: Mujer Detective
Carmen Vidal is a private detective addicted to pizza, beer and marijuana who fights against a criminal Senator to avenge the death of her colleague, in a modern film noir about self-improvement.
Magic Mike's Last Dance
“Magic” Mike Lane takes to the stage again after a lengthy hiatus, following a business deal that went bust, leaving him broke and taking bartender gigs in Florida. For what he hopes will be one last hurrah, Mike heads to London with a wealthy socialite who lures him with an offer he can’t refuse…and an agenda all her own. With everything on the line, once Mike discovers what she truly has in mind, will he—and the roster of hot new dancers he’ll have to whip into shape—be able to pull it off?
Cocaine Bear
Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner's plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild dark comedy finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow and blood.
Have a Nice Day!
From the same director of "Todas las sardinas del mundo" and the series "La Casa de las Flores," the Mexican feature film "Come Back Soon!" is an incredibly charming film. The story follows the journey of a retired radio announcer in Mexico who decides to work at a market to earn some money. His goal is very special: to attend a party where he hopes to find his true love, with the help of two young men who work at the market. A simple and functional film that shows with lightness how dreams last forever - despite age.
