RocknRolla – Directed by Guy Ritchie
Posted by the editors on Monday, 5 December 2011
RocknRolla (2008) Written and directed by Guy Ritchie (Sherlock Holmes (2009), Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)), and starring Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson (In the Bedroom (2001), Michael Clayton (2007)), Mark Strong (Syriana (2005), Body of Lies (2008), Sherlock Holmes (2009)), Toby Kebbell (Control (2007)), Tom Hardy (Inception (2010), The Dark Knight Rises (2012, in post-production)), Idris Elba (American Gangster (2007)), Karel Roden (The Bourne Supremacy (2004)), and Thandie Newton (Crash (2004), W. (2008)). This sharp and quite witty crime film, in the mold of Ritchie’s excellent Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000), is chock full of eccentric Brit gangsters (and the requisite Russians), loud good music, action, violence, humour, sharp dressing, some very good lighting, and, of course, Ritchie’s now patented directorial style. There’s perhaps nothing new and exciting in RocknRolla, but it’s still a snappy entertainment (though not for the whole family, it should be noted). (PR)
