| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
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.
