Reviews

Critically, Rollin' with the Nines received mixed to negative reviews. On IMDb, it holds a modest rating of 5.4 out of 10, reflecting a divide between viewers. While some praised the film's authentic depiction of London's grime scene and compelling soundtrack, others criticized its pacing and character development. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a comprehensive score for the film, indicating its status as a cult or niche title rather than mainstream success. Critics from outlets like Empire noted that while the movie "offers an intriguing look into urban British culture," it often struggles with "clichéd plotlines and uneven storytelling." Some reviewers also pointed out that the performances, including Vas Blackwood's, added credibility but couldn't fully compensate for the screenplay's flaws. On the positive side, fans of British crime dramas and those interested in hip-hop culture might find the film's atmosphere and raw edge appealing. Overall, Rollin' with the Nines captures a specific slice of urban life with some energy but falls short of broader critical acclaim.
