In London, the British mob boss Lenny Cole (Tom Wilkinson) rules the growing real estate business using a corrupt Councilor (Jimi Mistry) for the bureaucratic services and his henchman Archy (Mark Strong) for the dirty work. When he lures the small time criminals One Two (Gerard Butler) and Mumbles (Idris Elba) in a transaction, they lose their property and owe two million pounds to Lenny. Meanwhile the Russian entrepreneur and Russian mob boss Uri Omovich (Karel Roden) meets Lenny for a real estate business and Lenny charges seven-million Euros for the deal; Uri accepts, calls his accountant Stella (Thandie Newton) to laundry and raise the necessary funds and lends his lucky painting to Lenny to bring success and fortune to their business. However Stella double-crosses Uri and hires One Two and Mumbles to steal the amount while the painting is stolen from Lenny's wall by his addicted rocker stepson Johnny Quid (Toby Kebbell).

"Rocknrolla" is another great movie of Guy Ritchie in the same style of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". The complex and intelligent screenplay entwines characters and funny situations and the result is an entertaining movie with witty lines and excellent acting. Tom Wilkinson is fantastic in the role of a powerful crime lord. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Rocknrolla"

Not that Guy Ritchie ever went away. But after his split-up with Madonna 2008, he came back in the public eye. His previous movie, "Revolver", didn't really attract many people, which might have to do, with the very complex structure of that movie. Quite definitely has to do something with that.

But with "RocknRolla" he takes a step back (sort of) and takes on known territory. While it never achieves to be as good as his first two movies (imho),it shows that Guy hasn't lost his touch. Not that he would care, what people think, as I read in a recent article in the EMPIRE Magazine, but he just feels comfortable in this type of movie. While he hasn't done a sequel to one of his movies (yet),they do feel like they have a common base. So again, if you did like "Lock, Stock..." and "Snatch", then this is an absolute must-see for you

Lenny Cole (Tom Wilkinson) is a ruthless London mob boss masterminding a corrupt real estate deal. Russian developer Uri Omovich gives his lucky painting to Lenny but it goes missing. Uri uses corrupt accountant Stella (Thandie Newton) who in turn double-crosses Uri by getting One-Two (Gerard Butler) and the Wild Bunch to steal the money.

Guy Ritchie is returning to his London gangster movie roots. It's overload with wild characters and hard talk. There is so much going on that it's hard to concentrate on one particular thing. It's a case of too much of a good thing. This is all style and big talk. There are too many characters and too many interconnected plot lines.
