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

    The chemical reaction of a bunch of characters to the end is no longer as explosive as the big smoking gun, but it is still very feel

    The heroine is a disappointment, and the lines are wonderful. The handsome guy who has messed with the base is the real handsome guy.

RocknRolla quotes

  • [after getting the property deeds from One-Two and Mumbles]

    Lenny Cole: What's wrong with you, Archie?

    Archie: Is that not a bit strong, Lenny? I mean, they come from the same place as you, you're gonna clean them out.

    Lenny Cole: The same place as me? Do I look like a fucking immigrant? No one gave ME a leg up! They need a little bit of fear, otherwise they'll come up against me. They need a little lesson, don't they?

    Archie: [narrates] And that is an example of how Lenny works.

  • Archie: [narrates] Now today is Lenny's big day. He's hit the big time, because a new Russian billionaire desires Lenny's property contacts. He wants planning permission where the law won't allow. Of course Lenny will come through. But he will rake that Russian for every rouble he can get.
