Entertainment Weekly
Ritchie concocts a crime-jungle demimonde that's organically linked to the real world, and it's a damn fun one to visit. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
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! - 80
Variety
A cleverly constructed, sensationally stylish and often darkly hilarious seriocomic caper. - 70
Film Threat
If you're a fan of the early Ritchie comedy-crime thrillers, then this is not only right up your alley, it's a long lost relative returning home. - 63
Rolling Stone
RocknRolla is a kickass crime drama that just doesn't know to quit while it's ahead. - 50
ReelViews
As punchy and energetic as the first few moments are, the rest of the film quickly falls back into mediocrity. - 50
The New York Times
Like the filmmaking itself, the violence has no passion, no oomph, no sense of real or even feigned purpose. - 50
New York Daily News
