ROCKNROLLA

Plot:

In London, where real estate is gold, gangster Lenny Cole (Wilkinson) along with his right hand man Archie (Strong) rule the city's real estate business.When One Two (Butler) and Mumbles (Elba), members of a thug club called the Wild Bunch who do short order work for Lenny try to purchase property but come up short on cash, they must come up with a plan fast or catch a cold from Lenny (a term referring to being murdered). Things appear to look up for the boys when Stella, an high powered accountant with a thirst for danger, hires the Wild Bunch to rob her client (a Russian gangster who is trying to build a stadium in London) of seven million dollars. Things continue to go wrong when the Russian's lucky painting that he lends to Lenny is stolen by a crackhead rocker named Johnny Quid (Kebbell).

Reel Talk:

Having enjoyed Guy Ritchie's previous movies, I can say I was not disappointed with RocknRolla. It is a movie filled with everything from action, comedy, intrigue and corruption. The casting is by far Ritchie's best, from Wilkinson as Lenny, Butler and Elba as thugs, Newton as the sultry accountant, to the smaller roles provided by Jeremy Piven and Ludacris who play entertainment managers who get caught up in the middle of all the chaos. All around a good movie to go check out.
