Now I have been a fan on Guy Richie movies since someone introduced me to “Lock Stock and Two Smokin Barrels” almost ten years ago, so I am no stranger to his work. I missed “Revolver” when that came out, and knew that “Rock N Rolla” was out but couldn’t make it to that one either. However once they both made it to DVD i knew i had to see them. Since Rock N Rolla was the most recent i went for that one first, and i am glad i did. 

As per usual with his films, there are several story lines all runing on their own, usually to crash into each other by the end. There are the usual twists and turns in the plot, nothing that you can’t already see coming from almost the start, but it doesn’t matter, it’s an action movie, after all.  Guy’s very stylized visuals and great use of camera work are present and accounted for in his latest picture. I would even go out on a limb and say that they have gotten better over the last several movies he has done.

I won’t go into who is in this movie, aside from saying that Jason Statham is NOT in this one but Gerard Butler (300′s King Leonidas) is part of the cast. Everyone appears on screen to have a genuine amount of chemistry between actors. Again with most of his movies there is a lot of humor (mostly dark) injected into almost every scene. I don’t know where the ideas come from but i am still amazed at how well all the loose ends get sewn up by the end of the film. 

If you like a little comedy with your action, and aren’t afraid of thick accents from European actors, i would definitely suggest renting with the option of buying this one. One small gripe, there was a severe lack of cockney in this movie. I love the stuff, i guess cause i can’t speak it myself. Not once did i have to turn on the subtitles to figure out what an actor/actress was saying. Oh well.
