PlotIn London's gritty underworld, a Russian mobster orchestrates a lucrative real estate scam, attracting the attention of the local crime syndicate. The deal promises to flood the market with millions, drawing in not only the established criminal elite but also the smaller fish looking to elevate their status. Among these hopefuls is a small-time but ambitious gang led by a charismatic and clever man, his two lieutenants by his side. Together, they devise a plan to hijack the scheme, but quickly find themselves entangled in a web of deceit, betrayal, and violence. Their journey into the dark heart of London's criminal world reveals the precarious balance of power that exists there, with trust as a currency more valuable than money—and far more dangerous to trade.
As the story unfolds, the paths of various characters crisscross and collide. An old-school crime boss, desperate to hold on to his fading power, a lethal accountant with her own agendas, and a rock star presumed dead but very much alive, all play crucial roles in the chaos that ensues. The quest for wealth and power leads to unlikely alliances and brutal betrayals, setting off a domino effect of events that threaten to upheave the established order. Just beneath the surface of these criminal endeavors, there's a deeper exploration of loyalty, ambition, and the desperate search for a way out of the life that, once entered, is almost impossible to leave behind.

RocknRolla blends Ritchie's signature style with witty dialogue and fast-paced action, but extras lackluster.
