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

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

As punchy and energetic as the first few moments are, the rest of the film quickly falls back into mediocrity.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

San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalleAdd Critic to Favorites

RocknRolla attempts to depict a world of ever-expanding chaos. But the chaos is only in the way the story is told. The actual vision Ritchie offers is pedestrian and tame.Read the full review

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

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

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
