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.

Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 11/07/2008
RocknRolla feels as if Ritchie is imitating his favourite director here, and that director is Guy Ritchie. Go to Full Review
David Stratton The Australian 11/07/2008
2.5/5
For a while you go along for the ride. But as the film progresses it becomes increasingly unwieldy. Go to Full Review
Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune 10/31/2008
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. Go to Full Review

Guy Ritchie's hugely entertaining Lock Stock-reloaded... Go to Full Review
Kaleem Aftab The List 11/04/2018
3/5
It's all perfectly serviceable, but still leaves us guessing over whether Ritchie is just a one-trick pony. Go to Full Review
Shalini Langer The Indian Express 01/27/2018
Rocknrolla is carrying a distinct stamp of style, cool and Britishness that immediately sets it aside from Hollywood mob films. Go to Full Review

Michael @Mmartin11 Dec 23 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. See more Michel D Nov 27 I've always wondered exactly what qualities one to BE a Film Critic ?? It's your taste , your opinion yes ?? Imagine if we ALL had the same !! I never give them due ,, LOVED this Film !! Several views and ready to do so again while I relax after Thanksgiving mayhem . 😊 See more Michael O Sep 30 Breaks no new ground for movies or for Ritchie, but it is an amusing diversion and therefore a return to form. See more Ziggy S. @OdietheDude Jul 13 Guy Richie strikes Gold on every level. Should have been a sequel. 🙏 See more Joe B Apr 30 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. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Mar 27 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.
