Review of RocknRolla

RocknRolla (2008)
9/10
Fun past time entertainment
7 December 2009
I got a bit of problem when watching British films plainly looking and hearing their dialogue. Well it is evident that British accent is different than the American. But I loved watching them because there are undoubtedly a lot of quality British films out there. The entire film made me ride on the laughs and jogs of the characters, not exactly knowing what they're into. All I know is about this circle of crime profession and a bunch of thugs and junkies. Well least to say, I do know what accountants where, and the accountant here was a freaking B***h. Gerard Butler always had this funny charisma I saw since P.S. I Love You (which I honestly didn't entirely liked at all) and The Ugly Truth. I saw it again in this film. The comedy didn't fail me; it was plainly simple and witty. Crime and action weren't new to me. But this is the first time I could remember well how they incorporated crime, action, sex and comedy. It was reasonably entertaining. It got the hype and drollness I remember from Daniel Craig's Layer Cake, only that the latter, though better, was less jesting. The characters were also uniquely blended. They got conspiracy, thrill, mystery, plot, action and humor. Toby Kebbel and Mark Strong were also remarkable, specially the latter one. Mark Strong always reminded me of some powerful secondary lead crime boss or even a primary one. The whole setting and story were solid for me and I recommend for those who look for jiffy switch of action, crime and comedy, RocknRolla isn't a bad option.
