RocknRolla
Claudia PuigRocknRolla takes director Guy Ritchie back to London's gritty streets, and thankfully as far away as possible from the soggy island landscape of his 2002 film Swept Away. Ritchie has returned to the world of snarky crime capers that he captured effectively beginning a decade ago with Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and continuing with Snatch. This Cockney crime saga stars an almost unrecognizable Tom Wilkinson as Lenny, an aging crime boss who likes to think he still controls London's underworld. His next in command, and the film's narrator, is Archie (an excellent Mark Strong, who has a strong part in Body of Lies, which also opens this week). When Uri (Karel Roden), a wealthy Russian gangster, involves Lenny in a real estate swi...
RocknRolla
The destinies of a Russian mobster, a London gangster and a crackhead musician are intertwined when a valuable painting is stolen: just another day in the city for Guy Ritchie
In recent years the release of a new Guy Ritchie feature has become a major talking point - for all the wrong reasons. Not so much a launch, more a public flogging. You'd think that after the debacle of Swept Away and the thought-experiment that was Revolver, he'd throw us all a sheepish grin and amble back to his pub The Punchbowl. Yet, time and again, he drags his director's chair from the allotment and breezily plonks it down in the middle of the corpse-strewn warzone that is the business of film. At the very least you've got to admire his tenacity. You've got to give him that. And as he str...
A return to form
Guy Richie eh? Hmmm yes. After the undeniably excellent Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels that we all loved and quoted in the nineties, and the very watchable 'Snatch' Guy's career suddenly took a nose dive into Sh*tville. People have stated that he was a one trick pony that tried other tricks and fell on his equine face. Others demand the reasons lie with him bedding up to art killer Madonna who seems to have the surprisingly potent ability to ruin anything film related without any effort. Regardless Guy has returned two horrible, horrible films later with Rocknrolla. One glance at the trailer is all you need to see that he's decided, maybe wisely, to return to a genre that he does well and lucky for us too: Rocknrolla is excellent.
