Rocknrolla (DVD) Reviews

One of the outcomes of the success enjoyed by Quentin Tarantino after the release of Pulp Fiction was that it spawn a lot of imitataions who believed that they too could deliver the multi-strand plot. Usually this would involve any number of characters who seemingly had little in common but through a random set of conicidences, find ...  Read the complete review

Another classic Guy Ritchie film, and not a moment too soon. This was made in 2008 and Ritchie had done little since his major hit Snatch back in 2000. He had made a film called Revolver, but it was pretty shoddy and wasn't a hit at all. Finally, he made his comeback with this clever hit, that is much like Lock Stock and Snatch. However, ...  Read the complete review

I watched this film yesterday, and I actually quite liked it, it's a tad predictable but watchable. I'm not a huge Guy Ritchie fan but this is one of his better films. If you have seen any other Guy Ritchie films though, this one wont shock you. It's set in London, there's gangsters, petty criminals, drug addicts, ...  Read the complete review

Intro I have always enjoyed Guy Ritchie films and there are probably lots of you Ritchie lovers out there. This is definitely one for the crowd and it is made in a typical Guy Ritchie atmosphere but is it as good as the rest? In this action flick you get introduced to several characters that somehow have something to do ...  Read the complete review

This is a London based gangster action film from Guy Ritchie. This is 110 minutes long and is 15 rated: it contains strong language, violence, sexual references and scenes of drug abuse. This starts off focusing on Lenny Cole (Tom Wilkinson) and his right hand man Archy (Mark Strong). Lenny is an old time gangster boss who is ...  Read the complete review

You generally know what you are going to get with a Guy "Mockney" Ritchie film and this is no exception. Guns, suits, "loveable" rogues with funny names, fast-talking and London. He has gone back to his Lock Stock roots and thankfully ditched the pretentious psycho-babble of Revolver. London gang boss, ...  Read the complete review

Guy Ritchie made a name for himself with two stellar British gangster films - Lock, Stock and Two Smokin' Barrells, and Snatch. However, after that he also made a few duds, such as the Madonna vehicle Swept Away, and the curious existential misfire Revolver. With Rocknrolla, though, he returns to top form that doesn't quite reach his ...  Read the complete review

Rocknrolla is the latest instalment of London-based gangster films and was directed by none other than Guy Ritchie, who clearly specialises in movies of this genre. Released in 2008, the film features a complex web of inter-linking plots featuring the usual themes of violence, confusion/mystery, coincidences and betrayal. As ...  Read the complete review

After the disappointment of Revolver, I was unsure what to make of Rocknrolla. I loved Lock Stock and Snatch but felt Ritchie may have lost the plot with Revolver. But I was pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed the film. It features a small time group of criminals lead by Gerard Butler, "old-school" London ...  Read the complete review

This film is simply classic Guy Ritchie. It follows the same kind of plot as Snatch, Lock Stock and Revolver in that it features a bunch of characters, mainly criminals, who get somehow all tied into the same chaotic situation. After the disappointment of Revolver, Rocknrolla is a pleasant surprise as it is fantastically ...  Read the complete review

It is quite shocking to see just how similar this film is to previous Guy Ritchie films. There are ideas, scenes and shots that are just too similar for them to go unnoticed. Despite these similarities, Rocknrolla does manage to retain some originality with brilliant characters and an odd, but hysterical plot. Some lines are incredibly ...  Read the complete review

I like all of Guy Ritchies films but someone told me that Rocknrolla was supposed to be a crap film so i wasn't sure if i would bother. My dad put it on yesterday though and I watched it with him and thought it was brill! Its the same set up as other Ritchie films with a gang boss who gets some lesser gangsters to do some ...  Read the complete review

Rocknroll was relased on DVD in February 2009, after being a smash hit at the cinema. Available for £6.98 from amazon its a super buy and a film you will love to watch over and over.

RocknRolla is 'the' 2008 crime film, written, directed and produced by the original gangsta (with a posh accent) Guy Ritchie. Narrated throughout by Mark Strong, it has a host of British talent, with a couple of names from across the pond. ~Characters~ Gerard Butler - One Two Tom Wilkinson - Lenny ...  Read the complete review

I had read some bad reviews of this film so I did not expect too much however I found that it was a lot better than I expected it to be. It is a Guy Ritchie film and in it he plays it safe by concentrating on the same sort of themes that he covered in Snatch and Lock Stock, the London crime scene with plenty of geezers and slick ...  Read the complete review

Rock n rolla is a fast paced crime caper comedy that doesnt let you stop for breath. Full of dodgy geezers and funny capers the film is one of guy ritchie's best. Gerard Butler plays a small time con who with his current crew aim big and get them selves embroiled in a crime over there heads. Full of seprate stories ...  Read the complete review

The one thing you're always guaranteed to get from a Guy Ritchie film is an incredibly complex and twisted plot with lots of clever dialogue. He hasn't always hit the right buttons wth his films, but Rocknrolla is a real return to form, as we see the corruption of humanity rear its ugly head for another chapter. Okay, so: the ...  Read the complete review

Guy Ritchie is back to his very best with Rock'N'Rolla. Like many of Guy's films this film is made up of a lot of comedy and twists. The film exposes the way that London has changed economically whilst also being able to add a plot tat is interesting and easy enough to follow. Like his previous films he has been able to add ...  Read the complete review
