Old-school mobster Lenny Cole (Tom Wilkinson) rules London's underworld with an iron fist and a score of well-greased palms. As big-time gangsters and petty crooks all scramble to get their cut of a Russian mobster's crooked land deal, street-wise hustler One Two (Gerard Butler) tries to play both sides of the fence as the lucrative deal falls into the lap of Lenny's presumed-dead son.

Critics Consensus

Mixed reviews for Guy Ritchie's return to his London-based cockney wideboy gangster movie roots, but most agree, it's a step in the right direction following two major turkeys.

Paul Byrnes

Sydney Morning Herald

RocknRolla feels as if Ritchie is imitating his favourite director here, and that director is Guy Ritchie.

For a while you go along for the ride. But as the film progresses it becomes increasingly unwieldy.

Rated: 2.5/5

Chicago Tribune

Ritchie, who shoots and cuts everything in RocknRolla like an ad for a particularly greasy brand of fragrance for men, delivers the beatings and killings in his trademark atmosphere of morally weightless flash.

Rated: 1.5/4

It's all perfectly serviceable, but still leaves us guessing over whether Ritchie is just a one-trick pony.

Rocknrolla is carrying a distinct stamp of style, cool and Britishness that immediately sets it aside from Hollywood mob films.

Breaks no new ground for movies or for Ritchie, but it is an amusing diversion and therefore a return to form.

Some bits were good, but some was a bit cringy, I liked some scenes but some bits were a bit dark. Again characters I liked some, other didn't like so much. It could have been better film but not bad. Worth watching but not great.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, o filme tem cenas fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é mais ou menos e ninguém melhora o filme, os personagens sao fracos, e faltou muitas cenas para o filme ser bom.

I don't know what movie these lame critics were watching but Rocknrolla is a great movie! The all-star ensemble cast, writing and direction were all on point and superb. Love the mix of crime drama and comedy. You will too. Enjoy!
