Written and Directed by Guy Ritchie the overall movie follows Ritchie's distinct style and tone, which I can personally never grow tired of. It's witty, hilarious, mind-boggling coincidences and action packed.

ROCKNROLLA starts with the explanation of the booming London real estate market, and a gentleman named Lenny Cole. Lenny will help you speed up the process of approving a building for renovations that should take many years, and make it happen in months.

So, he takes up the offer a Russian developer, Uri Omovich, for 7 million Euros to help him make his stadium go through without any hitches. Unfortunately Uri has an accountant (Thandie Newton) who is interested in making money on the side. So she hires One Two (Gerard Butler) to steal the money from Uri mid-transaction. Now here's the twisted part... One Two works for Lenny.

If you still don't get it, it's like this: One Two owes Lenny money, and he has till such time to get that money. Lenny makes a deal with Uri. Uri is about to courier the money to Lenny, but One Two who has no idea the money is for Lenny, is stealing the money... to give to Lenny. Get it?

If you like Guy Ritchie's style (NOT Swept Away) you'll enjoy this one, but it doesn't beat out Snatch. I feel as though it was lacking in something, but you'll still laugh and cringe at some great jaw dropping twisted moments.
