At first glance, RocknRolla seems similar to the unique and somewhat interesting story line as Snatch. However, once the long and overrated introductions of the characters are over, so is the movie! I wanted to like the movie so bad, truly! But the confusing story line and underdeveloped characters had me wishing the movie would just end!
There were some quirky characters such as Johnny Quid played by Toby Kebbell that made me laugh every once and a while(the pencil stabbing scene was totally unnecessary by the way), and Tom Wilkinson is always good in whatever he's in...he way great. Gerard Butler and Thandie Newton's chemistry in the movie was non-existent to say the least! which made me not connect with their characters. And I don't know what the hell rapper/actor? Chris Bridges(aka Ludacris) was doing in the movie. He and Jeremy Piven offered nothing to the failing story line. The only save of the movie was the sexiness of Idris Elba*starry eyes*which keep my attention for every scene that he was in, but still...not enough!
Call me old fashion, but I was looking for a good ole' action packed heist movie with clever plot twists...but i didn't get it with this one :-(
