RocknRolla
Rent & Buy
When a Russian mobster sets up a real estate scam that generates millions of pounds, various members of London's criminal underworld pursue their share of the fortune. Various shady characters, including Mr One-Two, Stella the accountant, and Johnny Quid, a druggie rock-star, try to claim their slice.
What critics thought
Guy Ritchie's return to London gangster territory lands somewhere between a comeback and a retread — the script, direction, and performances from Mark Strong, Gerard Butler, and Tom Kebbell drew genuine appreciation, but critics were split on whether familiar material handled slickly is enough. Audiences have warmed to it more than critics did at release.
“hardly re-inventing the wheel with this movie, but RocknRolla is nonetheless a comedy thriller that is every bit as accomplished as his early work, and without doubt a witty, adrenaline-fuelled blast from start to finish”
Chris Tilly·IGN UK
“It never slows down enough to be really good, and never speeds up enough to be the Bourne Mortgage Crisis, but there's one thing for sure: British actors love playing gangsters as much as American actors love playing cowboys, and it's always nice to see people having fun”
