Last nite me and the bf had to use up our free movie tickets at hoyts so we decided to go watch 'RocknRolla'. I have always been a fan of Guy Ritchie's movies (eg snatch and lock, stock and two smokin barrels).
Lenny Cole (Wilkinson) is a bungling London crime boss who calls the shots in London's underworld. We learn all about Lenny from Archie (Mark Strong)--his second in command--who serves as the film's sly narrator. When a wealthy Russian property dealer by the name of Uri (Karel Roden) looks to Lenny for help on a major new deal, Lenny is eager to assist (for a very large fee, of course). Uri agrees to pay, and as a show of faith, he insists that Lenny borrow
his "lucky painting." Uri then asks his accountant, Stella (Thandie Newton), to transfer the money to Lenny, but things quickly go awry when two crooks known as Mumbles (Idris Elba) and One Two (Butler) intercept the money before it reaches him. To make matters worse, the lucky painting has mysteriously been stolen, and the number one suspect is a crack-addicted pop star, Johnny Quid, who is presumed dead. Violent hijinks ensue as Lenny desperately tries to locate the painting, Uri calls in some sadistic thugs to recover his money, and Johnny Quid suddenly resurfaces. Men are battered with golf clubs, fed to crawfish, and attacked with machetes, and a surprise twist ending neatly ties up the whole bloody mess

Although, some critics have criticised the film as being too much like his other movies (being nuthin original). But that is the main reason were fans of Richie, his style of directing, the sense of humour he portrays in his films, is the reason why we keep watching his movies - its addictive. I hope Richie egets the support he needs from his fans to make the sequel
In my opinion, the film is worth watching i give it 4/5
Go check it out
