September 26, 2009I have to admit that I have a soft spot for Guy Ritchie's mockney gangster films. I don't know what it is. I know that they're not very profound and have nothing to say, I know that they're a pure fantasy vision of British crime and I know that if you've seen Lock, Stock and Two ...( read more)

September 4, 2009No, I've never seen Snatch, so with that out of the way I really didn't know what to expect from a Guy Richie film. I didn't let his personal decisions (marrying can't-settle-down pop singers) affect my decision or the fact that Gerard Butler is behind only Forrest Whittaker in n...( read more)

July 16, 2009A stylish, hip, exciting, hard-rocking and exhilerating crime-thriller. An instant classic. Director, Guy Ritchie is back to the old school, he has returned to his sharp style of witty crooks, evil gangsters, interwinding stories, a great soundtrack and fast-humor. It's slickly w...( read more)

December 1, 2009Apart from the good performances and a lot of scheming plot, there is much to behold. It is raw but that is as far as it goes...needed more stewing to have really made a smart not just a "shoot-em-up" film.

November 28, 2009Story is bit messy and some loose ends are not well handled. Overall film is worth to watch. Acting ,direction ,dialogues all are as per expectation.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
RocknRolla isn't as jammed with visual pyrotechnics as Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Smoking Barrel (1998), but that's OK, because with anything more happening, the movie could induce motion sickness. full review

Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
If RocknRolla clings to the company of ne'er-do-wells, it's not because they bristle with the frustrations of society, but purely because Ritchie wants to borrow their cheeky charm -- a virtue that, i... full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Great title for a gangster flick. Too bad that writer-director Guy Ritchie only partially realizes the sizzling potential. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
If, as his critics contend, Ritchie is just making the same movie over and over again, at least he's getting better at it. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
RocknRolla is a well-acted and attitudinal action movie, a return to Ritchie's trademark 'Mockney' style, which takes amusing and twisted turns. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
It's like a lumpy, overworked, useless 'objet' that someone who doesn't know you very well might give you as a gift, a thing that sits around the house serving no unearthly purpose other than remindin... full review

Armond White, The New York Press
RocknRolla's a shocker -- a Guy Ritchie film full of wit and feeling. full review

Kurt Loder, MTV
Ritchie has once again made a movie with far too many characters in it, and way too little of much interest for them to do (or, Lord knows, say). full review
