How is this movie? Is it worth a blind buy or is it a rental?

SDon1969 · 01-26-2009, 04:50 PM

Good question, I'd like to know too. I loved Lock, Stock & Snatch, but heard that this one was sort of a mess. Comments?

JamesKurtovich · 01-26-2009, 04:51 PM

Not sure I'd buy it. I tried to watch it with my girlfriend, but we got kind of lost and it wasn't particularly entertaining. Kind of slow. We ended up throwing in Max Payne instead and that one was even worse.. wasn't a good movie night for us, haha.

I'll probably go back to watch it myself though. I'm a big Gerry Butler fan.

Same here read the synpsis and appears to be interesting. I will give it a rental first, but any feedback is appreciated.

TheZoof · 01-26-2009, 04:55 PM

I thought it was ok. It felt more like Snatch to me.

3/5 stars.

ckent22 · 01-26-2009, 04:57 PM

It's not one of Guy Ritchie's better films IMO. It's definitely a hit or miss. Some like it immensely and some don't. Definitely rent first.

Ruin · 01-26-2009, 05:00 PM

I actually liked the movie a lot, Its a for sure buy for me. Its a little bit slow in the beginning but about 20 or 30 minutes in it starts to get interesting. Like someone else said in this thread it is just like snatch maybe better.

Keiths Light · 01-26-2009, 05:06 PM

I turned it off half way through. Not my kind of movie i guess.

nolook · 01-26-2009, 05:18 PM

ill give it 3/5

Canadian Turtle · 01-26-2009, 05:38 PM

I loved the movie. Saw it in theaters once and rented it and watched it twice from work. Its a for sure buy for me come Tuesday. Cool story, funny, action, twists, and a pretty good soundtrack to top it off.

Hedchekr · 01-26-2009, 05:42 PM

I hope it is good. Guy has been off since Snatch.

coolmilo · 01-26-2009, 06:02 PM

I would have purchased it as a blind buy but it is too expensive ($27 on Amazon). A title like this should street price for $19 or less.

Obiwang_3zero3 · 01-26-2009, 06:28 PM

Sounds like a definate rental to me. Thanks for the input everyone! My last blind buy was Max Payne and Righteous Kill. I am very disappointed I wasted my money on those titles....

panamablu · 01-26-2009, 06:30 PM

Snatch is my Guy Ritchie favorite movie, so if its better it should be pretty good.

Skynet · 01-26-2009, 06:37 PM

I loved it.The casting is fantastic in this.Wish it could be more blood though.

If you liked Lock, Stock and Snatch, there is no doubt you will like RockNRolla.

He has definitely returned to his twist and turn plots with hillarity and great cinematography in this one.

I would say this is right exactly on par with his first two. Revolver sucked and I never saw the one with Madonna

, but this one would be well worth the purchase.

As for myself, I'll be marching inot Best Buy first thing in the morning to grab a copy.

Maybe the lesson is to not blind buy, but rent those you are curious about first.

DaPenguinPimP · 01-26-2009, 08:58 PM

hmmm good thing I didn't pre order then. I'll wait till the price goes down to under 20 to pick this up.
