Amazon.co.uk Review
The film career of Guy Ritchie has endured a few bumps in recent years, with a collection of generally forgettable films from a man clearly capable of so much more. Thank goodness then for RocknRolla, which marks a smashing return to form, as he heads once more to the criminal underworld of London.
This time, Ritchie is playing far closer to the likes of Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and while RocknRolla may see the director playing on safer ground than of late, it doesn’t take long for the decision to be vindicated. The plot surrounds a real-estate job with millions at stake, and it gives ample excuse to unleash a collection of raw gangsters and tough guys into the mix, who each fancy a bit of the action.
Thus, RocknRolla brings together Gerard Butler’s Scottish gangster, Tom Wilkinson’s London crime lord, Toby Kebbell’s drug-addicted musician and the likes of Thandie Newton, Mark Strong and Jeremy Piven too. And Ritchie’s cast serve him really well, making ample mileage out of the lines they’re given.
Granted, all of this is hardly fresh territory for the director, but RocknRolla is nonetheless funny, action-packed and a good British mob film to while away an evening with. Welcome back, Mr Ritchie… --Jon Foster

This film is an amazing piece of work from Guy Richie.
From the very beginning to the very end this film will keep you interested and entertained.
It has a brilliant soundtrack, good cinematography, and a strong storyline with good actors.
The one fault with this film is that you have to really listen to what everyone says to get the storyline properly, but if you buy this cheap DVD then you can watch as much as you like so you won't miss a thing.

This film is another triumph for Guy Ritchie. I dont usally like films like this but as soon as i saw the trailer i was hoooked. This film never gets old with funny one liners and monologues from all the characters which have me and my friends quoting to eachother. Acting is amazing espcially from Tom Hardy, Mark Strong and Toby kebbell and the many more of the cast. This is definatly worth the money infact its a bargain. With Action and Comedy this kept the film entertaining every minute.
A definate must see film!

This is a light-hearted (trans: unrealistic) tale of London criminal skullduggery during a property boom (whatever one of those was). It opens with a CASINO like sequence describing how money can be made and lost where crooked councillors fix planning permission. But thereafter it rolls into a tragi-comedy of errors with overly wordy repartee. Occasionally violence penetrates the jolly atmosphere but usually in a cartoonish way (the Russian/Chechen heavies in the chase scene), a possible exception being a Joe Peschi pencil job on the bouncer. All the characters are unpleasant and it is hard to care who comes out on top. The actor playing the Russian oligarch has a strange resemblance to...... someone else.
Better than revolver, nowhere near SNATCH, what would Brick Top say!

Rock 'n' Rolla
A very good film, with an interesting story line. If you like snatch or lock stock then this is for you. However this product took a very long time to arrive (just under 2 weeks).

Ok but not one of Ritchie's best
Great cast. Decent enough plot but rather than losing myself in the story it felt too contrived. Ritchie by numbers.
Liked the chase after the second robbery. Read more

Has Guy Ritchie ever actually been to London?
I'm so going to London. Mr Ritchie has sold it to me completely. It looks like an Artful-Dodger-Land, everyone; man, woman and child, is the Artful Dodger, all of them dazzlingly... Read more
