Tarantino versus Ritchie

Tarantino or Ritchie?Snatch and Lock stock and two smoking barrels have been long compared to Reservoir Dogs and pulp fiction. L&S&2&smoking barrels have been produced on a small budget with mostly unknown actors and when it became a box office hit Ritchie was suddenly compared to Tarantino. Ritchie just like Tarantino uses an unconventional storytelling device in his films.

And as one american critic said:"You have to give the British credit. Whenever we Americans come up with some really tasty bit of protean popular culture, like as not our former colonizers pick it up and take it a step further. We invented rock 'n' roll; the British produced the Beatles. We invented techno and house music; the British transformed them into a worldwide culture. We gave birth to Quentin Tarantino; the British answered with Guy Ritchie."
