RocknRolla: Oct. 8, 2008
Who’s in it: Tom Wilkinson, Gerard Butler, Thandie Newton, Toby Kebbell, Ludacris, Jeremy Piven and Idris Elba
Who directed it: Guy Ritchie
What’s it about: London’s criminal underworld turns to real estate as the next big money maker everyone wants a piece, from the small time gangsters to the big time mobsters.
What you’ll love: Butler’s sweet dance moves along with his sexless sex scene with Newton and Ritchie’s new twist on his own genre.
Guy Ritchie says: “I sort of became aware that there is a phrase generated – if someone says someone is a RocknRolla it seems to inspire a certain picture and I suppose that picture is someone who lives life very large and is also very volatile. It is usually someone who is very creative and has a large desire for life. The trouble is there are consequences to that desire and often they end up putting their finger in the socket.”
