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 11/07/2008
RocknRolla feels as if Ritchie is imitating his favourite director here, and that director is Guy Ritchie. Go to Full Review
David Stratton The Australian 11/07/2008
2.5/5
For a while you go along for the ride. But as the film progresses it becomes increasingly unwieldy. Go to Full Review
Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune 10/31/2008
1.5/4
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. Go to Full Review

Guy Ritchie's hugely entertaining Lock Stock-reloaded... Go to Full Review
Kaleem Aftab The List 11/04/2018
3/5
It's all perfectly serviceable, but still leaves us guessing over whether Ritchie is just a one-trick pony. Go to Full Review
Shalini Langer The Indian Express 01/27/2018
Rocknrolla is carrying a distinct stamp of style, cool and Britishness that immediately sets it aside from Hollywood mob films. Go to Full Review

Michel D Nov 27 I've always wondered exactly what qualities one to BE a Film Critic ?? It's your taste , your opinion yes ?? Imagine if we ALL had the same !! I never give them due ,, LOVED this Film !! Several views and ready to do so again while I relax after Thanksgiving mayhem . 😊 See more Michael O Sep 30 Breaks no new ground for movies or for Ritchie, but it is an amusing diversion and therefore a return to form. See more Ziggy S. @OdietheDude Jul 13 Guy Richie strikes Gold on every level. Should have been a sequel. 🙏 See more Joe B Apr 30 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. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Mar 27 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.
