Rock N'Rolla

It's nice to see Guy Ritchie making quality stuff again. It's pretty common knowledge that Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Snatch, are both kick ass movies. Then we had Swept Away, which I saw maybe 10 minutes of but it was enough to make me gouge my own eyes out. My new ones are made of iron but you would never guess. Then Revolver was a confusing mess that I just couldn't devote my attention to.

Rock N' Rolla is a return to the glory days. Ritchie can do these kind of movies in his sleep, but he does them well. Just about better than anyone actually. He creates interesting characters and an interesting story to put them in. It's 2 hours of pretty much nothing but talking but damn it's entertaining.

There is really only one action sequence in the whole thing but it's a well done one. It's a pretty small scale action scene, and much of it is played for laughs, but it's a fun watch, no doubt about that.

The acting is also great, with not really a weak link in the bunch. Hell there aren't even really any stand-outs, every one is very solid. I guess I would give the edge to Tom Wilkinson though, he was awesome. As was Gerard Butler though. Thank god he's moved away from PS. I love You and Nim's Island and back to his more 300 days. Wait...you say his next movie is called The Ugly Truth? And it co-stars Katherine Heigl? And they play morning show hosts who hate each other, but then no doubt fall for each other? God damn it Butler.

I won't get into the story too much here but it's a good one. Just make sure to fucking pay attention. Shark in Venice could learn a few things from this one in how to do a proper crime movie. Although this one could learn a few things from it, in that there wasn't a single shark in this one. There is not even a single Baldwin brother in here either, which is really a huge missed oppurtunity. What the fuck Guy Richie, what the fuck?

It's too bad this movie didn't do better since apparently there are supposed to be 2 more sequels. Unless the DVD does huge, we probably won't ever see them, which is really too bad. So everyone go buy this DVD! If Paul Blart can get a sequel, than this one fucking better. *cries because he remembered Paul Blart is getting a sequel*

7.5/10
