"Rock-n-Roller": actors, photos, plot

The project is a criminal comedy with a famously twisted plot. In the best traditions of Guy Ritchie's films in the movie "Rock-n-Roller" actors and their characters get into the cover of criminal stories, forcing them to chase the most terrible mafiosi of the city.

If we consider the story in more detail, then the viewer unfolds the story of three unlucky thieves, who, by their stupidity, robbed the London criminal authority. The money and the valuable picture they stole belonged to the Russian oligarch and were borrowed. Therefore, for the criminal authority to get rid of the unfortunate trinity of stolen money - it's a matter of honor, so to speak.

In the course of the development of the plot, Bob (Tom Hardy), Mumbler (Idris Elba) and Raz-Two (Gerard Butler) several times get into tough scams, from which they manage to get out only thanks to a happy event. The picture did not raise a lot of money at the box office - only $ 28 million with a budget of 15 million. But she went into that short list of films that movie fans are ready to revise several times.

But in fact, the phrase "one-two" is translated from English as "quick answer". That is, it is implied that Raz-Two always has a ready answer to any question, and he knows how to find a way out of any situation. What, in fact, he has to do during the whole film, hiding alternately from the people of Lenny, then from the Russian mafia.
