We have collectively made up for the "cover"

Multi-threaded narrative, exquisite coincidence, dark humor, without exception, the mark of Guy Ritchie. I remember that when Ning Hao's crazy series was released at that time, the audience who had been aesthetically fatigued by the domestic "master"'s inappropriate foreword and storytelling was immediately stunned. "Gai", and together with the group, made up for Mrs. Mai's husband (now her ex-husband, the world is changing so fast), Comrade Garich, and finally understood that when you know the beginning and the end of the story, The layers of character relationships that take place in it can make people forget the need to use popcorn to pass the time.

Like "Two Smoking Guns", the British background may be more handy for Guy Ritchie, but the difference is that compared with the previous work, the environment in which this story takes place has changed from a small British town to an international financial center in London: cowardly and greedy There are old-fashioned gangsters (Lenny) who control the underground world, and there are foreign upstarts from Russia (Abu is so famous that he has become the icon of the rich Russians), a group of people living in muddy waters for a living Business gangsters (Onetwo, etc.), well-rounded social elites (beautiful accountants)... If only these people are singing there, it is not special and lively, and it is not necessary to add a neurotic end-of-the-rock FQ and his followers and agents. Wait, if you do a rough calculation, there are about 20 people who can be called by name, and these people who are terrifying still know each other, what a mess!

Compared with similar works, this time Guy Ritchie seems to have deliberately reduced some coincidences. It has become the propeller of the plot, and it is also the constantly changing weight on the seesaw of all parties, allowing the scattered characters to converge, collide and destroy in one direction. Fortunately, we have already made up the "cover" collectively, just like drinking too much melamine milk---it's used to it, and it's immune to it. Let you play with it, and there will be no more surprises. But then again, it's a lot smarter than the average Hollywood cliché.

There are a lot of acquaintances in the film. Although they are all second-tier and third-tier, they are all character actors. It is quite fun to watch: Isn't this the one who played XXX in that XXX movie... Hehe

There is a fragment that did not explain clearly, and did not find the answer: Uri asked his subordinates to come in to deal with Lucky Painting when he saw Lucky Painting at the beautiful accountant's house, and then the painting came to Archy's hands inexplicably, and also said that the Russian guy was paralyzed because of this---- puzzled , who will say

    I really didn't find it very interesting. When it finally felt a little exciting, the ending was unexpected and unintelligible.

    As always: standard, brilliant, dark humor, this is a Gay Ritchie-only movie, beware, it's Gay Ritchie...

RocknRolla quotes

  • Archie: ...and he'll be in there like swimwear.

  • Archie: Bandy, you ever ask a stupid question like that again, see Danny there? He's gonna slap you.

    Bandy: Sorry Arch, I was, I was just trying to use initiative.

    Archie: Danny, slap him.

    [Danny smacks Bandy]

    Archie: With the right, Danny, properly.

    [Danny smacks Bandy with the right hand]

    [Danny slaps Bandy]

    Archie: Oh, for fu... Like this.

    [slaps Bandy himself]

    Archie: Now if you can master a slap like that, there's no need for your clients to hold back. They will open up like a fountain, full of words. No need for strong violence, no no. They're transported back to their childhoods. Putty in your hands. Ask Bandy. Look, thinks he's back at school.

    Danny: But he never went to school, Arch.

    Archie: You want a slap as well, Daniel, eh? Now, if a slap don't work, you cut 'em or you pay 'em. But you keep your receipts, 'cause this ain't the Mafia. Now get out there 'n look for the painting!
