I like the image, but the text and font could be better. The font should be lower text like the poster and not on an angle. They could have also put a silhouette of the crowd behind the ropes or something too.

If someone showed me the image without any text over it never in a million years would I ever tie it to the film Snatch. That alone makes it a bad cover choice IMO.

Wish I'd bought that FR Futurepak ..

No SB for me. I'll settle for regular 4K.

Why would anybody with talent waste their time designing art for SteelBooks?

This is basically a Pop Art steelbook. And all Pop Art steelbooks aren't worth a dollar.
Pretty funny that folks are waxing poetic about the Pop Art version of this movie now.
(Yeah, that one is still bad too).
The only one that is decent is the French Futurepak.

A lot of artists do original art for Steelbooks, so there must be money in it. Most recently the Rambo set had various artists contributing to all 4 films and The Rob Zombie Firefly Trilogy had original artwork by Vance Kelly. All looked great. Other artists have their established screenprint’s for films used on Steelbooks, most notable are the one’s Mondo produces.

Um, it's the One Sheet for the movie. That's kind of the point.
Not some art school reject's Happy Meal drawing.

The art of the compelling one-sheet has been on life-support for at least two decades now. If you’ve seen one “presenting...our cast!!!” cover, you’ve seen ‘em all. This SNATCH Steelbook art is garish, cartoonish and entirely too random, but it at least tries for something different.

Yes, the same thing is always said when SteelBook art sucks...which is quite often.

Along the lines of:

"Yeah, but she has a nice personality."

I can count the number of authentically interesting theatrical one-sheet posters from the last decade on the fingers of one hand.
