Guns, gangsters, and Richie's unique style and tone make his latest picture just plain fun.
Ben Lyons, At the Movies
Rotten
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.
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

Style is what RocknRolla is all about. And it has it in spades, from the cockney Pulp Fiction dialogue to the music-video editing of the rambling narrative.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Fresh
RocknRolla is a recovery from the knockout blows of his past two films but Ritchie is certainly retreading familiar thematic territory.
Ted Fry, Seattle Times
