Lenny Cole, a London mob boss, puts the bite on all local real estate transactions. For substantial fees, he's helping Uri Omovich, a Russian developer. As a sign of good faith, Omovich loans Cole a valuable painting, promptly stolen off Cole's wall. While Cole's men, led by the dependable Archie, look for the canvas, three local petty criminals, the Wild Bunch, steal money from the Russian using inside information from his accountant, the lovely Stella. Meanwhile, a local drug-addled rocker, Johnny Quid, is reported drowned, and his connection to Cole is the key to unraveling the deceits and double crosses of life in the underworld. In London, a real-estate scam puts millions of pounds up for grabs, attracting some of the city's scrappiest tough guys and its more established underworld types, all of whom are looking to get rich quick. While the city's seasoned criminals vie for the cash, an unexpected player – a drugged-out rock 'n' roller presumed to be dead but very much alive – has a multi-million-dollar prize fall into his hands. ROCKNROLLA (2008) *** Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Idris Elba, Thandie Newton, Mark Strong, Jamie Campbell Bower, Tom Hardy, Ludicrous, Jeremy Piven, Karel Roden. Brit filmmaker Guy Ritchie returns to form with this surprisingly straight-forward yet fun and entertaining crime drama with his usual gang of lowlife English hoods and ne'er do-wells in a crazy quilt of intersecting plot lines, this time involving an old school gangster (Wilkinson having a field day) whose real estate brokerings lead to a missing invaluable rare painting - with his most recent clients , a Russian bad guy (Roden, scarily brooding to the hilt) and his infamous rock star stepson (Bowers stealing every scene he's in) playing dead for good reason: he has the art work in his possession. A game ensemble - Butler particularly as a two-bit criminal whose slapstick methods and empathy with a recently disclosed homosexual associate, is a true stand-out and the razzle-dazzle camera-work by David Higgs, keeps things lively in this rousingly fine slice of pulp fiction. Sorry, but I watched about a half hour of this movie, and basically had no idea what was going on, and was bored out of my mind. I rented it because Blockbuster labeled it as a ' hidden gem'. Plus, I'm really into Gerard Butler. I think he's an awesome actor and really hot. But even he wasn't enough to make me want to continue the movie. I couldn't even understand what they were saying half the time because the accents were so thick, and I had no idea what was going on. This movie wasn't for me, but that's not to say that other people won't like it. If I liked anything about what I did see of the movie, it was the music, and Gerard Butler. ;) On the plus side, the actors - especially Butler and Wilkinson - work overtime to pump some extra life into the self-conscious script. The script for RocknRolla was written by English film director and screenwriter <a href="/name/nm0005363/">Guy Ritchie</a>. People ask the question what's a RocknRolla? And I'll tell 'em it's not about drums, drugs, and hospital drips, oh no. there's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, others the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the fucking lot. –Archy (<a href="/name/nm0835016/">Mark Strong</a>) As Archy tells Johnny Quid (<a href="/name/nm1527905/">Toby Kebbell</a>): "It cost a very wealthy Russian an arm and a leg (implying Uri)". Tank (<a href="/name/nm1996829/">Nonso Anozie</a>) meets Archy at Lenny (<a href="/name/nm0929489/">Tom Wilkinson</a>)'s office and tells him, "I have a bit of news about your painting". Cut to a scene of Lenny interrogating two men. Handsome Bob (<a href="/name/nm0362766/">Tom Hardy</a>) met Stella's husband at her party and he agreed to go out with him if he could get Bob the file. In another scene Bob, is on the phone with Stella's husband and he tells Bob where to pick up the file. He and Mumbles (<a href="/name/nm0252961/">Idris Elba</a>) pick it up, call One Two (<a href="/name/nm0124930/">Gerard Butler</a>) and arrange to meet at his place where Archy is waiting. Tank calls him and tells him "first I find your painting, now I find out who's been taking Lenny's money". In the scene after Lenny shoots Johnny, Archy takes the file from Bob and reads from it. He tells Lenny, "but I've seen this name many times over the last 20 years and I always wondered…", and then it goes to a flashback of Archy in Lenny's office looking at a piece of paper and asking, "…who is this Sydney Shaw, Len?" Lenny snatches the paper away from him and tells him, "nothing to do with you". It's obvious Sydney Shaw was Lenny's alias and Archy being so close to Lenny knew he used that name. When Archy goes to pick up Lenny's two million from the Spealer, he says in his narration, "the Wild Bunch have had to put a little extra money on top to ignite Lenny's contacts and maybe, just maybe, Lenny's magic wand can make Bob's legal paperwork mysteriously disappear". Cut to the scene where Bob surprises One Two at Spealer, Archy calls him and tells him, "someone lose a bit of paperwork did they, One Two? Yeah well next time you remember that's exactly why you pay Lenny, understood?" "Rock and Roll Queen" by The Subways. The song used in the later trailer is "I'm a Man" by Black Strobe. Archy says, "You'll never sing the same if your teeth ain't your own." Possibly. At the end of the film, there is a title card stating, "Johnny, Archy and the Wild Bunch will be back in The Real RocknRolla", and Thandie Newton (Stella) has been quoted in MTV Movies Blog as saying, "RocknRolla is one of three films and Guy's keen to get going on that straightaway." The working title for the third movie is Rocknrolla Suicide and, according to Ritchie, would bring the characters to America. It is implied that they are both killed. Stella is probably killed by Uri's assistant Victor after Uri see that she has his painting. Her death isn't shown on screen, but is implied when Victor asks for his gloves on his way in. Uri's death is implied when Archy tells Johnny that the painting "cost a very wealthy Russian an arm and a leg". Both deaths are implied, but neither are confirmed. Perhaps it will be explained in The Real Rocknrolla. a5c7b9f00b Unfinished Business online freeAkame ga Kill! full movie in hindi free download hd 1080pJupiter Ascending full movie with english subtitles online downloadUntitled Terminator Reboot movie in hindi free downloadNight Call movie free download in hindiNafaka hd full movie downloadthe Star Trek full movie download in hindiAnd Justice for All full movie download mp4Lost Kings in hindi download free in torrentBlack Day in hindi free download
