RocknRolla is a return to form, of sorts, for Mr. Ritchie. ... The British director has returned to familiar territory, that of the small-time hood.

REVIEWS FOR ROCKNROLLA
'RocknRolla' takes more left turns than imaginable. It might make sense in the mind of Guy Ritchie, but to the rest of the universe, I can not imagine the film will translate.

A self conscious re-working of Guy Ritchie's now familiar style and storyworld.
Mar 24, 2009
It's long, confusing but is definitely saved with great performances and a tight episodic script...
Feb 13, 2009
Breaks no new ground for movies or for Ritchie, but it is an amusing diversion and therefore a return to form. [Blu-ray]
Jan 31, 2009
Some movies go off on tangents. This movie is nothing but tangents.
Jan 28, 2009
In spite of the film being derivative, RocknRolla is still a lot of fun. At least, what you can understand of it.

Ritchie still has the knack for street-tough dialogue, and there's plenty of laughs amid the gunplay.
Nov 26, 2008
A patchwork of set pieces, held together by a hip soundtrack.
Nov 14, 2008
As a gangster named One Two, Gerard Butler is suitably rough around all his edges.
Nov 14, 2008
This is a wonderful movie.
Nov 10, 2008
Top CriticGuns, gangsters, and Richie's unique style and tone make his latest picture just plain fun.
Nov 10, 2008
Top CriticA complex, violent and fun look at the London underworld, "RocknRolla" is for grownups who like gritty action and complex tales.
Nov 9, 2008
...the same tatty old tricks jumbled around to make them look fresh.
Nov 7, 2008
Allowing for its air of laddish self-congratulation and its sad whiff of homophobia, Ritchie's film is arguably his most entertaining to date.
Nov 7, 2008
RocknRolla feels as if Ritchie is imitating his favourite director here, and that director is Guy Ritchie.
Nov 7, 2008
For a while you go along for the ride. But as the film progresses it becomes increasingly unwieldy.
