Just early this week I wrote about British films doing it big ahead of the Oscars. Another British star doing it big on his latest film is Guy Ritchie. The man who was at the helm of such memorable and unique films like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels as well as Snatch, is back with an impressive cast of fellow men and women in his latest graphic crime thriller RocknRolla.
The British talent featured on RocknRolla is the first thing that stands out from the film. I'm talking about accomplished actors like the ever-ravishing Thandie Newton, Mark Strong, Gerald Butler, Idris Elba, Tom Wilkinson and Tom Hardy. There are a few actors who are not from the European countries, like Ludacris and Jemery Piven, but it is the local talent that injects substance and familiarity into film.
The title of the film might be mistaken for a movie about music, but the themes and the storyline are so far from it. RocknRolla is a crime thriller that sees different aspects of crimes intertwined into one explosive mystery. The graphic manner in which the film is shot provides an extra edgyness and creates instant visual attraction into the characters and their surroundings. The humour is also very palatable and witty.
Guy Ricthie has done a sterling job in capturing the essence of the different characters and relaying their interesting stories. All actors give their best, each bringing something unique and amazing into the film, especially the young Toby Kebbell who plays a character that brings the pieces all together. Also noteworthy is Thandie Newton's sassy, sharp and sexy nature as the only lady actor in the film.
I believe you are going to really enjoy this film, especially if you are a Guy Ritchie fan. I know I am and have also always been fascinated with the English accent, so that provided me with more to enjoy.
RocknRolla has been out already at Nu Metro cinemas nationwide since end of January.
