Old-school mobster Lenny Cole (Tom Wilkinson) rules London's underworld with an iron fist and a score of well-greased palms. As big-time gangsters and petty crooks all scramble to get their cut of a Russian mobster's crooked land deal, street-wise hustler One Two (Gerard Butler) tries to play both sides of the fence as the lucrative deal falls into the lap of Lenny's presumed-dead son.

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.

RocknRolla feels as if Ritchie is imitating his favourite director here, and that director is Guy Ritchie.

2.5/5

For a while you go along for the ride. But as the film progresses it becomes increasingly unwieldy.

1.5/4

Ritchie, who shoots and cuts everything in RocknRolla like an ad for a particularly greasy brand of fragrance for men, delivers the beatings and killings in his trademark atmosphere of morally weightless flash.

Ritchie seems to work more comfortably when he returns to "bad boy" stories, but the inevitable question is what RocknRolla brings to that path. The answer is simple: little to nothing. [Full review in Spanish]

It's all perfectly serviceable, but still leaves us guessing over whether Ritchie is just a one-trick pony.

This film had a lot of promise, but oh man the ending was terrible. It was like Guy Ritchie ran out of money or time or both. Nearly every plot angle wasn’t resolved and the viewer is just left with "what happened?" If you want to see 3/4 of a fun movie, go for it.

Breaks no new ground for movies or for Ritchie, but it is an amusing diversion and therefore a return to form.

Guy Richie strikes Gold on every level. Should have been a sequel. 🙏

Some bits were good, but some was a bit cringy, I liked some scenes but some bits were a bit dark. Again characters I liked some, other didn't like so much. It could have been better film but not bad. Worth watching but not great.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, o filme tem cenas fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é mais ou menos e ninguém melhora o filme, os personagens sao fracos, e faltou muitas cenas para o filme ser bom.
