What to Know

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.

Stephen Garrett Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald RocknRolla feels as if Ritchie is imitating his favourite director here, and that director is Guy Ritchie. Nov 7, 2008 Full Review David Stratton The Australian For a while you go along for the ride. But as the film progresses it becomes increasingly unwieldy. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 7, 2008 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Guy Ritchie's hugely entertaining Lock Stock-reloaded... Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 4, 2022 Full Review Kaleem Aftab The List It's all perfectly serviceable, but still leaves us guessing over whether Ritchie is just a one-trick pony. Rated: 3/5 Nov 4, 2018 Full Review Jason Best Movie Talk As ever with Ritchie, RocknRolla is more flash than substance, but beneath the swagger his movie scratches away at British anxieties.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review Adnan L One of THE MOVIE. Rock n rolla is real Rock n Roll Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review andrew F Entertaining movie, a nice mix of humor and grit. Great soundtrack (The Subways - well played), fun characters, really strong cast, pretty average plot, predictable at times. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/23 Full Review isla s This is what you'd expect of a Guy Ritchie film - London based, very much set in the gangster underworld, with bloody injuries and obviously fairly strong violence depicted, plus lots of strong language and the like. It features some dark comedy, with some good bits of dialogue and there is some frustratingly shaky camerawork used at times, although I guess that's done to higlight the frantic nature of whats going on at the time. Its a reasonable film of its type, that I suppose I would recommend, yes. Its not especially brilliant but its good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
