RocknRolla
When a Russian mobster sets up a real estate scam that generates millions of pounds, various members of London's criminal underworld pursue their share of the fortune. Various shady characters, including Mr One-Two, Stella the accountant, and Johnny Quid, a druggie rock-star, try to claim their slice.

From the confusing opening setup (6.5) to the beloved Invincible Russians battle sequence (8.2), representing reviewers' shift from uncertainty to full engagement with Ritchie's style.
Critics found RocknRolla a welcome return to form for Guy Ritchie after his previous missteps, praising its familiar but effective formula of interconnected London criminal storylines. While the opening was noted as confusing and some felt it retreaded old ground, the film gained momentum through its second half with standout sequences like the Russian battle and major plot revelations. Most reviewers appreciated the sharp dialogue, strong performances, and classic Ritchie style, even if they acknowledged it offered nothing particularly new.
