“When a Russian mobster orchestrates a crooked land deal, millions of dollars are up for grabs, and all of London’s criminal underworld wants in on the action.”
Ahh, Guy Ritchie, where would we be without your fun and predictable beats? From the story conceit of multiple parties after the same object (money of course) and the double-crossing, to the whimsical and playful almost-flamenco like music (shades of Italian singer Fabrizio De Andre), to the eventual fast-cutting, swish-panning hard-driving, “bad-ass” rock n’ roll, for better or worse this is vintage Guy Ritchie.
Just like the last trailer, the crescendo of this one is similarly set to the Subways’ “Rock n Roll Queen.” There’s not major differences in this trailer, but it does feature more Jeremy Piven and Ludacris this time and that’s probably because it’s an American trailer. The last one was decidedly British and there was nary an American accent in it. The rest of the cast is rounded out by Gerard Butler (the main flamer in “300”), Thandie Newton and Tom Wilkinson.
