Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

Ritchie concocts a crime-jungle demimonde that's organically linked to the real world, and it's a damn fun one to visit.Read the full review

Variety | Joe LeydonAdd Critic to Favorites

A cleverly constructed, sensationally stylish and often darkly hilarious seriocomic caper.Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Kirk HoneycuttAdd Critic to Favorites

It's all here: the ingenious, obscenity-laced language, the double crosses that turn into triple crosses, the swaggering characters so in love with themselves. GottaLove RocknRolla!Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

The bottom line is, all these people chase the same money around with the success of doggie tail-biting, and it's a lot of fun, and it's not often in these con films that everybody is conning everybody, and they're all scared to death, and nobody knows which cup the pea is under.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Noel MurrayAdd Critic to Favorites

As is the norm for Ritchie, Rocknrolla is also too long, too coolly violent, and too populated by characters who all talk like they've been reading the same pulp novelist.Read the full review

USA Today | Claudia PuigAdd Critic to Favorites

A well-acted and attitudinal action movie, a return to Ritchie's trademark "Mockney" style, which takes amusing and twisted turns.Read the full review

Rolling Stone | Peter TraversAdd Critic to Favorites

RocknRolla is a kickass crime drama that just doesn't know to quit while it's ahead.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Wesley MorrisAdd Critic to Favorites

It's fun to see Tom Wilkinson, for instance, with a massive bald spot virtually eating scenery with a knife and fork.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Sam AdamsAdd Critic to Favorites

Ritchie whisks you along on a whirlwind tour, but he's not averse to putting on the brakes long enough to admire some of his favorite attractions.Read the full review

The New York Times | Manohla DargisAdd Critic to Favorites

Like the filmmaking itself, the violence has no passion, no oomph, no sense of real or even feigned purpose.Read the full review
