From Guy Ritchie, the writer/director of
the acclaimed films "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels"
and "Snatch," comes "RocknRolla," a story of sex, thugs and
rock 'n roll. The action comedy takes a dangerous ride into
high crime and low life in contemporary London, where real
estate has supplanted drugs as the biggest market, and
criminals are its most enthusiastic entrepreneurs. But for
anyone looking to get in - from small-time crook One Two
(Gerard Butler) to shady Russian billionaire Uri Obomavich (Karel
Roden) - there's only one man to see: Lenny Cole (Tom
Wilkinson).
A mobster from the old school, Lenny knows the right wheels
to grease and has his hand on the throat of any bureaucrat,
broker or gangster that matters. With one phone call, Lenny
can make the red tape disappear. But as Lenny's right-hand
man Archy (Mark Strong) tells him, London is ground zero for
the changing times, with big-time mobsters from the East,
hungry criminals from the streets, and everyone in-between,
all vying to change the rules of commerce and crime.
With millions up for grabs, all of London's criminal
underworld conspires, colludes and collides with one another
in an effort to take their cut. But as high rollers and
petty criminals alike jockey for dominance, the true prize
of one multi-million-dollar deal will fall into the hands of
a junkie rock star (Toby Kebbell) - Lenny's stepson,
presumed dead but very much alive.
