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

Guy Ritchie's hugely entertaining Lock Stock-reloaded...

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

As ever with Ritchie, RocknRolla is more flash than substance, but beneath the swagger his movie scratches away at British anxieties.

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!

Absolutely brilliant movie. Watched it several times now and still love it. The cast is golden, couldn't have chosen better people to play the characters. Such a shame that the second installment wasn't made, as it was and still will be, very much anticipated. Completely underrated movie and typical of Guy Ritchie style. it's gets a solid 10/10 from me!
