Was Snatch so influential that people actually think this might be a sequel to that said movie? I can assure you it definitely is not! This is an entirely different beast (no pun intended). And a vehicle for Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock). He has to move his acting muscles instead of his actually muscles for once. And he proves he's able to. While not the best in the business in that category, he still can hold his own, even in scenes with Heavyweights like Susan Sarandon! And that is saying something about his quality.
Casting is really good in general (Barry Pepper and others), but it all boils down to, what the Rock brings to the table. You actually believe that a man like that might not be able to defend himself against street smart criminals, because you believe he is that character. Talking about character, this is based on a true story. Of course many things are heightened for movie purposes, but it still works
