RocknRolla (2008)

Oh, thank god Guy Ritchie is back to form. After his foray into mainstream (Swept Away) and a half-assed attempt to comeback (Revolver), he finally made a movie that gets back to his roots; dark humor with violence.

Too many overarching plotlines to get into, as per usual with Ritchie movies, so I'll just get into the main one. Rockstar Johnny Quid, who is a mob-boss's stepson, goes missing and all hell breaks loose in the process involving Russians, wannabe gangsters, junkies, music managers, and a beard. They all intertwine into a story of hilarity and mayhem.

Now, this movie definitely got some points knocked off for 1 major reason, and it happened twice in the movie. There were 2 blatent Pulp Fiction ripoffs in this movie. I'm not going to say what, but if you've seen Pulp, you'll know eactly when you see them. All that isn't to say this movie isn't fun.
