guy richie is back aparantly, but for me when he does gangland england, hes never been away, yes swept away was a disaster, but not a film he should have made, but lock stock, snatch, were classics, and revolver, is just not apreciated, and shows that when david lynch confuses people, he is praised, richie does it hes slated, whatever revolver was it was certainly stylish. now with rocknrolla were back in london, but id say more the london of producing partners mathew vaughns film,,,layer cake, than snatch, but certainly these charactors pop up and are vital to plot, again from the get go were in richies world, a great voice over which sets the scene perfectly, and introducing charactors. again a lot of criss crossing of charactors throughout. and comes together quite nicely when the end credits near, gerald butler in a way replacing vacant jason statham, is a typical richie charactor, who leads the plot along with various others, including bad businessman played by tom wilkinson, superb comedy and edgy moments combined throughout, with the plot running along smoothly, great score also, and violence, great, looking at this, theres more in the works, following charactors created in this film, especially the so called rocknrolla of the piece, cant wait
pierce brosnan, hounds gerald butler and maria bello, who play a married couple, hes kidnapped there kid, and wants to mess with there head, doing various tasks that will ruin there lives as he has there daughter, brosnan is a bit muddled here, i think hes irish in this i cant tell, and butler is ok, but bello shines as the wife, some nice twists throuth the end half, as per usual with this type of film, but its kept interesting throughout
from the guys who did the crank films, gerald butler is a conficted felon in the not too distant future having taken part in a game, where conficts are used like a player in a video game, shooting his way to survive, through a mind control device, once hes getting closer to his target of thirty plays he is to be killed anyway, some good action and violence throughout, the directors again bringing that crank edge to action and story, there are dull bits, and sometimes story doesent totally convince, and i feel there was more story not seen, but it is enjoyable, full of action and carnage, and perfect saterday night viewing
some nice touches, but also not a great story, daft in places,especially plot development towards end. butler does have charisma, andentertaining to watch
scary gerald butler is dead, but through written messages, haunts his widowed girl friend, and sends her places, no not a horror, but a romantic comedy, but romantic dribble through and through
