RocknRolla

ROCKNROLLA (2008) - Sept. 5, 2008
Another stellar Guy Ritchie film at the festival, and this time (unlike Revolver) I'm sure others will agree with me. Featuring a diverse cast, including Gerard Butler and Tom Wilkinson (all of whom are very good), this is a flat-out enjoyable movie that definitely ranks among Richie's best. It's just as well-directed as we've come to expect from Richie, and also features the type of snappy dialogue that he's become known for, as well as a stellar use of music. The film has a lot of characters and a lot of plot-threads, but unlike Revolver it all comes together quite nicely. ***1/2
