RocknRolla may have an unusual name. But it possesses the typical plot of any movie directed by Guy Ritchie.
Cool crooks, supposedly witty dialogue, a reliance on tricks such as freeze frames and slow motion. Anyone that's seen Snatch or Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels has seen all this before.
And they've seen it done better. Read through our full RocknRolla review now for more.

Guy Ritchie's latest movie is RocknRolla.
In it, Gerard Butler stars as One Two, the leader of a group of thieves and thugs known as the Wild Bunch. The British director recently spoke to ComingSoon.net about the project:
When you start writing a movie like this, where do you even begin? Do you start with one idea and just see where it leads you?
Yes, I think you start off with one idea and gradually, it gathers momentum with the sort of organic process of gathering other ideas that feel as though they belong in the same milieu I suppose. Then eventually one thing leads to another, and another thing leads to another and then ultimately the frame for the canvas is the environment, so London became the canvas and the paint became all the characters on that, so that the template was London.
Gerard Butler stars in RocknRolla.
Ritchie also touched on his future movie with Robert Downey Jr., based on a certai iconic detective...
Sherlock Holmes is an interesting choice for you, being only really your second adaptation.
What I wanted to do is I wanted to be an aggressive filmmaker the next five years and try and do as many films as I could within that period and "Sherlock Holmes" just seems like the perfect segue, because it's English. At the same time, it's backed by Warner Brothers and it has an American audience and it's a big action movie, so it has all the ingredients of fifty percent of what I'm known for and fifty percent of what I'm not known for, but it's fresh, fertile ground for me and I like action frankly. I never really had any money to exercise some major action sequences and now I do and I have rather high falutin' ideas, too.
RocknRolla is one of the most anticipated movies of the fall.
It's directed by Guy Ritchie and stars Gerard Butler, Thandie Newton and Gemma Arterton.

Guy Ritchie's latest movie, RocknRolla, due out October 31, is going to be a trilogy according to lead actress Thandie Newton.
Newton told MTV News that Ritchie plans on making the movie into a trilogy fast. After Snatch it took Ritchie nearly 5 years to come out with Revolver. However, this time around expect things to go a lot faster.
Newton also said that not all the stars of RocknRolla will be in the sequels. After all, not all of them survive.
RocknRolla stars Gerard Butler, Jeremy Piven, and Ludacris.
