RocknRolla

Another gangster film by Guy Ritchie but after two amazing previous films around the same gangster world of thefts and cheats things start to be a little bit repetitive. Don't get me wrong because it is not bad at all, it was just like something at we have seen before. I guess what made Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels different from Snatch beside being inside of the same genre and following pretty much the same line in terms of plot, was the hilarious characters that each one has. In this one the characters are also very interesting but it feels like we are seeing a mix of the other two where the brilliance of their plots, in here is not so brilliant and the plot sometimes gets a bit messy. In RocknRolla the tone is a little darker and for me it was not so funny has the other two but still very entertaining. All of the technical aspects were once again great, Ritchie's style is still there. About the performances I don't have to say much when there are names like Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong and Tom Wilkinson involved. I am not a big Gerard Butler fan but I liked to see him in here and he also provide me two of the best dance scenes that I've seen in cinema, one with Thandie Newton and the other one (even better) with Tom Hardy. Overall, great but not so impressive because of the overused material.

Loved it - the dark humour only Guy Ritchie can do. Less violent than some of his other movies, and that's a good thing. 9/10
