New, Damn Hot Trailer for Guy Ritchie's 'RocknRolla'
Friday, July 25, 2008 at 2:54PM
If you can find someone online with a more vocal
position on
Guy Ritchie's post-Snatch career (and I don't mean his rumored split
with Madonna), you're one up on me. In a nutshell, I believe that Ritchie is
still living off accomplishments that are nearly ten years old, and he's in dire need of a
rebound.
Swept Away is the worst film I've seen in ten
years as a professional critic and
Revolver, while a lot better and stylistically closer to what we expect from
Guy, was the cinematic equivalent of asphalt: Flat, thick, and all over the road.
RocknRolla hits theaters this October, and while I
wouldn't say it's going to be hit in the commercial sense (after all, these
R-rated ensemble gangster movies seldom are), it could be a stabilizing force in
a career that really needs one.

Looks good.
OMG, it's Mr. Madge's new movie .. it's slick, it's hawt, it's cool .. so cool ... it's great .. he's great .. she's great .. their marriage is great .. the kids are great .. Kabbalah is great .. god is great .. yay Jesus!
Looks like more gangster shite from Ritchie. A few villains with strange habits and cockney accents,a few torture scenes,shootouts,etc,etc. Won't be going to see this. Ritchie peaked with Lockstock and it's been downhill ever since.
While I agree with you on that, I do think he does British gangster shite very well. He doesn't do anything else worth a continental damn, but that he can muster.
Fantastic, Guy Richie is getting back to what he's good at, these Brittish gangster movies. Thank god Madonna didn't break him
