Note:

1) A scheduling conflict prevented Jason Statham from appearing in this film so his role is filled by Gerard Butler (300).
2) Guy Ritchie is planning to extend RocknRolla into a trilogy, following characters still alive at the end of the first film.

6souls is to movies as jerseyprophet is to music.

[Blabj]

Another light hearted romp through the seedy undercurrent of londonesque grime.

[Obev]

Another overdose of bad cockney accents and the glorification of violence for little artistic merit. Oh Guy Ritchie, what a brilliant film-maker you are.

I liked Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Barrels and Snatch. Probably going to like this too, even though they're not the most sophisticated movies.

[Roranora]

Thandie Newton is all kinds of attractive. >_>;

[Iono]

Bah, I thought they were joking about "The Real RockNRolla"

Anyone who didn't like this movie is a pussy.

[Norelco]

You had me at Jeremy Piven.

[Dmitry]

All sorts of sadface about Jason Statham not being in it

[Shuemue]

Jason Statham hasn't had a decent script since he last worked with Guy Ritchie

[Dmitry]

I'm guessing Death Race or whatever was horrible then? Never got around to seeing that.

[Vigilia]

Holy necrobump.

Rocknrolla was "ok"... nowhere near as entertaining as Lock Stock and Snatch were though and the characters are far less memorable. And my mistake was to go see Rocknrolla with my gay friends because it was the only movie out that weekend aside from the Duchess that none of us had seen yet so I got the full lecture about Guy Richie's homophobia throughout the film and how the Blue Oyster-reminiscent scenes with Gerard Butler were in it just to make up to gay community. Or some shit. Gah, I remember that better than most things that actually went on in the movie and it's like 2 months since we saw it.

Spoiler: show

Also, feeding a guy to crabs is a bit fail after feeding them to pigs... made me think of mutated sea bass with frigging laser beams on their heads.
