RocknRolla
Date Location
Ritchie's story is told with a signature narration and follows the pursuits of a bunch of get-rich-quick, bumbling, loveable rogues who could have walked straight off the set of an Ealing comedy. With trademark flashes of visual panache and humour, it's all perfectly serviceable, but still leaves us guessing over whether Ritchie is just a one-trick pony.

New spoof comedy from the 'Epic Movie'/'Meet the Spartans' folk. Blockbuster flicks as diverse as the Indiana Jones franchise, 'Iron Man' and 'High School Musical' get lampooned to tedious effect.

Bruno (Butterfield) is the nine-year old son of a Nazi Commandant (Thewlis).
