I should probably explain why this is my favorite Guy Ritchie movie because I'm probably alone in this (most people seem to prefer Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch). Here's all I've got:
• Idris Elba
• Tom Hardy
• Mark Strong (with some seriously sexy hair)
• Tom Wilkinson is just a fucking badass
• Jeremy Piven
• Tom Hardy. Did I say that one already?
• Best editing to turn a weird and hilarious sex scene even weirder and more hilarious
• Idris Elba is so fucking hot
• The most awkward/awesome dancing I've ever seen (courtesy of Thandie Newton, Gerrard Butler and Tom Hardy)
• Guy Ritchie's signature style, hilarious dialogue, and twisty plot twists
• Best use of music by the clash in a movie ever
In case you weren't aware, whisky is the new vodka. Drink responsibly.
PS: Idris Elba.
4 stars because it’s basically a weaker Lock, Stock🌿 and Snatch🥊.
But it’s still like Lock, Stock and Snatch so it’s kinda great.👍
Not much else to say on that. A classic Guy Ritchie gangsta flick with added gay Tom Hardy🏳️🌈.
And that’s a wrap🫡. Final Guy Ritchie Ranking is complete.
I still think that ROCKNROLLA is an underrated movie. I have always liked it and that has not changed. It's stylish, profane, funny and wholly entertaining with a colorful cast of characters portrayed by a foray of A-list actors, they really elevate the movie when the plot mechanics threaten to drive it into a ditch. If u like Guy Ritchie's oeuvre then you're going to have a blast. It follows the classic Ritchie's London Gangster flick formula with great results. I wish they would have done a sequel.

"A RocknRolla, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the fucking lot." .... but the so-called RockNRolla was my least favorite part for most of the runtime 😂😂
I love a good Guy Ritchie fast-talking gangster flick, and it is just not fair that all of them can't be as good as 'Snatch'.
(Quick Hits)
- Ritchie is great at ensembling the perfect casts to put into his stylized world of crime with this one featuring Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Idris Elba, and many more
- A slight issue is I don't think all of the crime politics and motives fully make sense, but that does not bug me that much since…
I just want Tom Hardy to hold me as we slow dance until death comes to us and we get buried in each others arms with a smile on our faces.
I love Tom Hardy!!!
Action! - A British Romp: Action Guy and The Ritchie Binders
Following two misfires put the British auteur in a bind after his breakthrough with not one but two classics, he decided to return to his filmmaking roots by stripping away all philosophy and trying to craft a much fun and straightforward story.
What follows is, unsurprisingly, a film that manages to recapture much of the magic of his first two films, especially Smoking Barrels, with again a cast of stars who were either on a roll like Butler or on the cusp of ascension like Hardy. As is the case with many of Ritchie's films, the cast ends up being the major reason why his movies are so entertaining.…
A signature Guy Ritchie gangster crime comedy that holds all the expected elements- stylish execution, intriguing plot, well written eccentric characters, witty one liners, cool soundtrack and enjoyable dry humor. The ensemble cast deliver kickass performances. The pacing, familiarity and the rushed climax are about the only letdowns. As a whole, it still ends up as one solidly edgy fun watch.
i’ve seen this like three times but never understood anything so all i do is to stare at the screen with heart eyes every time tom hardy appears
"There is no school like the old school, and I'm the fucking headmaster".
One of a hundred classic lines from a truly entertaining slice of the London criminal underworld.
