Jason Statham’s collaboration with Brad Pitt, which boasts a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, is proving to be a success on Hulu.
Jason Statham has been a prominent figure in Hollywood for nearly 25 years, and one of his early films featuring a star-studded cast has become a major hit on streaming platforms. Statham stars alongside Brad Pitt and Benicio Del Toro in *Snatch*, the 2000 caper crime thriller available on both Hulu and Prime Video. The film centers around boxing promoters, ruthless bookmakers, a Russian gangster, bumbling robbers, and jewelers, all of whom must collaborate to find a priceless stolen diamond. With a budget estimated between $6-7 million, it grossed over $85 million worldwide and also features Dennis Farina and Vinnie Jones. *Snatch* currently holds a 74% rating from critics and a 93% score from general audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.
Written and directed by renowned filmmaker Guy Ritchie, *Snatch* remains one of his most famous works. Ritchie first collaborated with Statham and Vinnie Jones two years prior in *Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels*, which marked Statham’s feature film debut. Ritchie and Statham worked together again five years later on *Revolver*, a psychological thriller that also stars the late Ray Liotta. Ritchie’s most notable film, *Sherlock Holmes*, was directed in 2009, featuring Robert Downey Jr. as the iconic detective and Jude Law as his partner, Watson. Recently, Ritchie directed *The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare*, a war epic/comedy starring Alan Ritchson and Henry Cavill.
