Well, I admit, it is too crude to use the language of Journey to the West as the title of the film review! But "the demon is born of the demon" is definitely correct. According to this logic, Guy Rithie's stylization Your career may be coming to an end, and it is now!

According to Mr. Danner, behind every famous artist must be a group of unknown artists, just like the monstrous waves we see, under the top drop of water, there must be many willing to back up. Who is behind Guy Rithie, of course not the eldest Madonna, but the general British independent filmmaking spirit and theatrical tradition.

Guy Rithie's films are firstly rooted in good scripts. Coincidentally, the fragmented lens language he is good at is suitable for expressing such interesting stories of "double clues, plot entanglement, and shared characters". It is very important to keep the story tight. Of course, the gangster theme is definitely helpful for creating contradictions, breaking the plot out of the sense of life, and expressing dark humor. After all, ordinary people don’t have so many opportunities to live these exciting lives.

From any point of view, Guy Rithie continues the success of the past in this film, but slows down the pace and shows too much background, which makes the plot a little off. There is no major innovation in the plots of the play from the British comedies we are familiar with. Even the old-school gangsters—Russian gangsters, and the old-school gangsters—the new Rockrolla generation have a more old-fashioned cascading relationship, and are not even as compact as the previous miniature scenes of Two Smoking Guns. Clearly, Guy Rithie is a little out of his depth.

In an industry, newcomers can always make something unexpected and refreshing. The former Guy Rithie is. But now, with the scenes rolled out, the characters added, and of course the budget, the story isn't as interesting and powerful as it used to be. Let's see what stories he's going to tell, it's estimated that the pace is a little slower.

RocknRolla quotes

  • Rocker: [interrupting Mickey's phone call] The dry ice, Mickey, I need the fucking dry ice! My show just doesn't work without it!

    Mickey: If you'd asked me yesterday for dry ice, I would've got you the driest ice the world could have, but you didn't ask me for no dry ice. You asked me for two cases of Johnny Walker Black Label and four ladies of the pole. And I got them for you, didn't I?

    Rocker: Yes. Yes, you did, I do confess. But Mickey, you're the manager, I'm the rocker. You've got on the hat. Why not just pull something out of it?

    Mickey: My hat is deep and full of magic. I got rabbits, handkerchiefs, and ladies of the pole drinking Black Label; I got smoke machines, bubble machines, I even got love marines, and still the hat goes deeper. All right? But there AIN'T no motherfuckin' dry ice!

    Rocker: Okay. You made your point. But tomorrow, might be quite nice to have some dry ice.

  • Lenny Cole: There's no school like old school, and I'm the fucking headmaster.
