At first glance, RockNRolla looks like a sort of British answer to the Ocean's 11 series. Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, and Thandie Newton star, with supporting turns from character actors such as Idris Elba (whom we know so well from The Wire, of course). Upon closer examination, though, you find out this is from Guy Ritchie, who brought us terrific movies like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, but who's also responsible for the terrible Madonna vehicle Swept Away. Just judging from the trailer -- and that's all I have to go by at this point, right? -- this looks to take more after Lock, Stock than the Madge flick. And Tom Wilkinson as a bald tough guy is scary. Seriously. It's a far cry from the weak, scared man he played -- and garnered an Oscar nod for -- in In the Bedroom, that's for sure.
