Sex, Thugs and Rock 'n' Roll - gee how can you go wrong with that?! Toss in my favorite hottie Gerard Butler and alrighty I am hooked. I entertained seeing this in the theatres but of course we all know time is pressing these days so I opted to grab the DVD for review (as I always love those extra features!).

DVD Synopsis

"I own this town." But owning is getting expensive for old school London gangster Lenny Cole (Tom Wilkinson). A wealthier foreign mob is moving in with a riverfront property swindle. A small timer (Gerard Butler) and his crew think they can play both sides and become big time. Now add a hard as ice accountant (Thandie Newton), a rocker playing dead to boost sales, wannabe music moguls (Jeremy Piven and Chris Bridges), a missing painting and a mad mosh of money and muscle, and you've got a real RocknRolla. From Guy Ritchie (Lock, Stock and Two smoking Barrels and Snatch) comes a fierce and funny caper, a smash mouth cinematic smackdown of sex, thugs and rock 'n' roll.

I don't know quite what I expected but to have a comedy injected overloaded movie was what I got. It was almost too busy, and it seemed rushed. I have a hard time explaining this one. I didn't find it to be a bad movie, it was entertaining in a fashion, and I never tire of looking at Gerard Butler so he sold the movie to me more so than the fabulous Guy Ritchie returning to proper form. The characters were rushed and you didn't get the depth I have a preference for, and aside from the comedic moments it was a bit lacking for me.

Bonus features again rather lacking. I don't know why all of a sudden movies are getting tossed on DVD with less incentive to get the DVD but here with what I expected to find a treasure trove of deleted scenes, maybe a gag reel or something fun - I found one rather boring commentary, a wee additional scene, and feature on London.

I did find it a rather fun even if it was a missing a few things for me and I'm quite sure if you're a Guy Ritchie fan you will love this. I say give it a whirl and enjoy the ride!
