What makes this stand out to you as a real gem? When one sits down to watch this film, they expect a film about the underworld of London. What they don't expect is that the underworld is much more far reaching than we think. With all of these key players that the viewers are introduced to, how could they all be connected? What Guy Ritchie achieves in this film is astounding. He takes each individual character and gives him/her not only an integral part in the overall flow of … more

An interesting cast was assembled to tackle a twist-filled script, directed by a craftsman experience in the genre of everyday mobsters in modern day London. Every editing trick in the book was used. Clever camera work was deployed. A pulsing soundtrack provided a burst of extra energy.

Short Attention Span Summary (SASS): 1. Sing a song of crime lords, pockets never dry 2. A Russian dealer comes to town, buildings to buy 3. While the deal was open, there was an offering 4. A rare and lucky canvas, which quickly went missing 5. The Accountant's in her counting house, counting out her money 6. The thug is in the parlor, nibbling at his honey 7. The knave is still a junkie, alive, but … more

A number of years ago young director Guy Ritchie changed mobster movies with his infectious LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS and that twisted underbelly of London's crime population is back in full force with ROCKNROLLA. Ritchie's style - mixing rapid action, flashback explanations, loopy violence, wildly imaginative characters, and a near non-understandable collection of various accents from the British Isles coupled with an integral musical score - makes this tale of deceit, desperation, intrigue, … more
