RocknRolla

More guns and geezers from Guy Ritchie

Warner Brothers

Guy Ritchie isn’t the sort of director who is going to deliver a blistering insight into the human psyche or a fierce attack on society’s socio-political issues. RocknRolla matches that assumption, being typically unpretentious fare in which men are devious double hard bastards and women are gorgeous but, of course, still devious.

The plot is ludicrously convoluted in order to create an illusion of complexity, but it boils down to one simple issue; a Russian mobster heads a highly lucrative property scam in London but soon finds that all manner of dodgy folks – from accountants to old school Cockney gang members – are after a cut of the action. Ritchie runs this standard A to Z synopsis through a labyrinthian trail of mini twists to a diverse selection of London backdrops, but can’t disguise that this process doesn’t give this paper thin concept any additional substance.

The performances are universally decent, especially from the underrated Toby Kebbell as a fading junkie rock star and from Matt King who, just like in his role as Peep Show’s Super Hans, gets all the best one-liners and plays pretty much the same character. But as a whole the cast are undermined by their characters who almost without exception are the sort of broadly drawn caricatures that an outsider would paint by way of stereotyping. If Gerard Butler’s One Two had owned a fluffy ginger kitten, you’d expect him to be his neighbourhood’s feline bully, plotting to swipe an illicit consignment of catnip from under the noses of the Russian street cats.

It’s not that RocknRolla is unwatchable by any means. It possesses a comfortable familiarity to British drama of days gone by (it’s easy to draw parallels with everything from Ealing comedies to Only Fools and Horses) and enough contemporary punch to ensure its relevancy. It even boasts one undeniably spectacular set piece that could be considered a brilliant parody of one of Terminator 2’s most infamous scenes. But, by the same measure, an attempt to tackle homosexuality in a macho male world is at best mildly comical and at worst just plain dumb.

RocknRolla is undeniably attention grabbing and, more often than not, an entertaining ride. But as the final credit rolls and the realisation that no underlying depth has been established, it’s hard to see any purpose in it beyond flashy eye candy.

James is an Adelaide

James is an Adelaide kiral?k araç
boy but we don't hold that against him. James is based in the traquil Oto Kiralama Ankara suburb of Galston- importantly, only 90 Audi Q7 Kiralama minutes havaliman? transferi from the Hunter. James grew up in Northern Sydney where is love of storms was only matched by his love of cricket. James is especially kiral?k oto lethal off a long run (though his bowling action is a tad suspect), and his Murray Walker impression is only topped by his freakish ability to talk like Tony Grieg for hours on end (something that frequently happens on a storm chase).Dann is a Melbournite but, again, we don't hold that against him oto kiralama
either. Growing up in Western Sydney, Dann watched the storms brew over the ranges from the roof of his parents house. Now based in leafy Warrimoo located in the Blue Mountains, Dann shares Vip Araç Kiralama a similar love of sport, and though he has no forward Ucuz Araba Kiralama Ankara
defensive shot, he can punt the leather Sherrin a mile. Partnered in commentary with James, Dann readily supports with his uncanny impresonation of Ray 'Rabs' Warren - and like Rabs, is always Range Rover Kiralama willing to absolutely over the top on typically mundane topics.
Matt was the founder oto kiralama ankara of Thunderstruck Storm chasing in 1998. Matt grew up in Burwood but now lives in Blacktown, with easy access Bmw Kiralama Ankara
to major freeways for frequent chasing! Matt's love of extreme weather has him out and about whenever possible, chasing the wild stuff this state has to offer.Although not the best at actually playing sports, he is a keen sport lover (broncos fan!), and with the 2 stooges above, make up the Sydney storm chasers team.
Here is some answers to some common emails :
No, this is not a full time job, and we do not get Bmw 320 Kiralama Ankara
paid. It is a hobby we take great pride and joy in, and take seriously. The combination of weather forecasting, together with filmaking and photography makes for an extremely challenging yet rewarding hobby (obsession)
Yes it can get expensive with film Bmw 520 Kiralama costs, fuel and car serivices, and accomodation ?oförlü Araç Kiralama on our days off when we Ucuz Araba Kiralama can get out in the field.
Yes - we designed this site. Well some of us - Two Brown Shoes - its a drupal based site running off a mediatemple grid sever. We tweaked our site for 3 years to get it right and we are still tweaking. Graphics stuff is all done by Dann. Programming and other assorted techy stuff is done by SSC pal Myles
Yes we are those 'sydney storm chasers' you might hear about in the media. Each of us have given radio interviews, on Triple J , and ABC radio in Sydney and regional NSW, and 2UE, NOVA and MMM.
Yes - we are interested in supplying Minicooper Kiralama Ankara severe storm and weather photography to newspapers, magazines, calendars, postcards, and for business use, just drop us an email.
Thanks again, hope you like this website.
