Always lose to American gangsters

Watched this film purely because of Gerard Butler. Although the critics said it was good, personally, I thought it was terrible. Maybe it's because I don't watch gangster movies much myself. But to be honest, Hong Kong can have a "Infernal Affairs", and the old capitalist country, the United Kingdom, is so inferior. I don't understand.
The funny thing is, after watching the whole movie, I still don't understand what a story is and what is the relationship between the characters. After watching it, I ran to see the movie review again, only to know, oh! That's what happened. Playing conspiracy and tricks instead of swords and guns, no wonder there is no shock, no wonder there is no feeling.
British dramas are still not as good as American ones. Always dim lights, a bunch of unknown people, gentleman's tricks...
not good.

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.
