Cape Argus / The Star Zane Henry | 5 | |
Die Burger Jeanne Calitz | 5 | |
The Citizen Bruce Dennill Ultimately, though, Rock 'N Rolla feels like a film-maker — and by association his cast — grasping at straws to kickstart a stalled career. | 8 | |
24.com Ivan Sadler Yet another tedious, cockney flavoured comedy of errors from Guy Ritchie, a director who has done the London mafia thing to death. | 5 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert The bottom line is, all these people chase the same money around with the success of doggie tail-biting, and it's a lot of fun, and it's not often in these con films that everybody is conning everybody, and they're all scared to death, and nobody knows which cup the pea is under. | 15 | |
eye Weekly Jason Anderson Though a few sequences reach the velocity of yore, there’s little fun to be had here. | 5 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli RocknRolla often feels more like a parody of a Guy Ritchie film than a real movie. | 10 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Great title for a gangster flick. Too bad that writer-director Guy Ritchie only partially realizes the sizzling potential. | 13 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs I'm sure there will be detractors who'll say that Ritchie has simply retreated to what he's comfortable with and thus is offering nothing new from his old bag of tricks. There's some validity to that point, but as is often said, do what you do best, and this is clearly the filmmaker's forte. | 14 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer 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. | 12 | |
