i like pikeys!

you don't know what they are? watch SNATCH. it's a guy ritchie movie starring brad pitt (all sexy in his rugged pikey look and underwear. haha.), benicio del toro, jason statham and more. i've watched it a couple of times and i'm watching it now. and it's still as cool as ever.

it has this mafia type of gambling and a lot of cursing and deceit. anyway, i don't wanna have to make my own synopsis because the lazy just got to me faster. hahaha. so here, something from Filmtwob {webmaster@filmfreak.co.za}


Turkish and his close friend/accomplice Tommy get pulled into the world of match fixing by the notorious Brick Top. Things get complicated when the boxer they had lined up gets the shit kicked out of him by Pitt, a 'pikey' ( slang for an Irish Gypsy)- who comes into the equation after Turkish, an unlicensed boxing promoter wants to buy a caravan off the Irish Gypsies. They then try to convince Pitt not only to fight for them, but to lose for them too. Whilst all this is going on, a huge diamond heist takes place, and a fistful of motley characters enter the story, including 'Cousin Avi', 'Boris The Blade', 'Franky Four Fingers' and 'Bullet Tooth Tony'. Things go from bad to worse as it all becomes about the money, the guns, and the damned dog!

it's a great movie. it's atmosphere is kinda like fight club. it's really good. PIKEYS!
