Love the film, so I'll give this a look.

However, I'm annoyed by the trailer, for two reasons...

The depiction of them with a wheelbarrow, full to the brim, of gold is just ridiculous. Gold is extremely dense, so that would weigh an incredible amount. Probably over 800 pounds. I know that sounds nitpicky, but it's just so unrealistic.

The other thing is it looks like it's trying too hard to replicate the film, stylistically.

Fingers crossed, as I really want to like it.

Keep in mind, this is Crackle and is a free ad supported service. There are quite a few commercial breaks. I tried watching "The Art of More" the other day and I counted around Five 2 1/2 minute commercial breaks.

^^ Does Canada even have access to Crackle?

I know pretty much no one here watches or uses Crackle for their original shows.

Apparently, we do. I'm not familiar with it, but most series like this end up on one of our pay stations. Although, this being a Crackle original, I'm not sure.

Regardless, I'll see it one way, or another. Someone will probably capture it and make it available through a method we don't discuss, here.

Some of the people who run commercial streaming sites are thick idiots. If crackle and a lot of these free movie app sites on roku cut their commercials to a reasonable amount of time people might sample their product. The cordcutters they are trying to attain cut cable for precisely the unbearable 10 minutes of commercials for 20 minutes of show ratio.

Sony Crackle announced today that the sophomore season of its scripted original drama, "Snatch," starring Rupert Grint also an executive producer, will debut on Thursday, September 13. In ten all-new episodes, the series takes viewers to Spain's Costa del Sol and follows the Hill Gang on the lam in another thrill-a-minute fight to save their fortune, and their lives. This season, true to form, it's not long after settling in the fictional coastal town of San Toledo that the Hills run afoul of the local kingpin and find themselves pressed into the malevolent crime boss' service. Just surviving will take every ounce of skill and daring our heroes have but outsmarting their enemies and taking over the town for their own is something only the Hills are savvy and crazy enough to pull off! Grint, known around the globe as Ron Weasley from the "Harry Potter" film franchise, returns as the utterly posh, Charlie Cavendish-Scott, alongside an ensemble cast featuring Luke Pasqualino ("Skins," "The Borgias") as Albert Hill, Lucien Laviscount ("Scream Queens," "Honeytrap") as Billy Ayres, Phoebe Dynevor ("The Village," "Dickensian") as Lotti Mott, Juliet Aubrey ("The Infiltrator," "Primeval") as Lily Hill, Tamer Hassan ("House Red") as Hate 'Em and Dougray Scott ("Mission Impossible II," "Desperate Housewives," "My Week With Marilyn") as Vic Hill. New to this season are Spanish actors Úrsula Corberó ("Money Heist"), Hovik Keuchkerian ("Assassin's Creed," "The Night Manager") and Tristan Ulloa ("Farinia: Snow on the Atlantic").
