After some failures in his career as a director, Guy Ritchie is back
with a fast paced, frenetic movie. A film about a Russian mobster
orchestrates a crooked land deal, millions of dollars are up for grabs,
and all of London?s criminal underworld wants in on the action.
Everyone from a dangerous crime lord to a sexy accountant, a corrupt
politician and down-on-their-luck petty thieves conspire, collude and
collide with one another in an effort to get rich quick. The story is
interesting and the plot is very well developed. Its a film with lots
of action and adventure, it has also a very good amount of black humor,
characteristic from Ritchie's movies, and full of twists and an
unexpected ending.The direction from Ritchie is excellent, the first
hour might be a little slow but from the second hour till the end the
movie takes a very fast rhythm and the fast forwards and slow motions
increases the intensity of the movie. The cast is amazing, Gerard
Butler gives a formidable performance, Thandie Newton also very good,
Tom Wilkinson flawless as always and the secondary roles from Toby
Kebbell (Johnny Quid), Idris Elba (Mumbles) and Mark Strong (Archie)
gave the movie a very good support. In conclusion, RocknRolla is a
entertaining movie you will enjoy and that will keep you on the edge of
your seat.
