RocknRolla is the fifth film by British director Guy Ritchie. Much like Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch., RocknRolla is a crime film set in the London underworld, populated with colorful gangsters. The cast includes Gerard Butler, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong, Toby Kebbell, Thandie Newton, Tom Wilkinson, Karel Roden and Blake Ritson.Lenny Cole is a powerful underworld figure, who, through an immense web of bribery, controls most of the land deals in London. A Russian businessman by the name of Uri seeks his services in procuring the permits to build a new stadium, which would take nearly a decade otherwise. However, their mutual accountant, Stella, is plotting to rip both of them off. With the aid of a trio of local hoodlums known as "The Wild Bunch" — One-Two, Mumbles, and Handsome Bob — she twice steals the seven million Euros intended for Lenny's payoff. The first time goes off without a hitch. The second time doesn't quite go as planned. Hilarity (and awesomeness) ensues.In the midst of it all is a (presumably rare and valuable) painting that holds sentimental value for Uri. It is stolen by Lenny's estranged stepson John, AKA Johnny Quid (the eponymous RocknRolla), and both of their respective Dragons (Victor for Uri; Archy, the Character Narrator, for Lenny) are following a trail of junkies and hustlers in order to find it.

London Gangster: Where would a Guy Richie film be without several of these? Tom Wilkinson plays the Shout-Out to the Krays, as per usual. There is another shout out to "the Jew twins" who Lenny put in prison for a lengthy turn after betraying them.

 RocknRolla / int_1720ea9c
comment
Injured Self-Drag: Implied after Lenny Cole has just had his kneecaps beaten to a pulp with a golf club by Viktor the Russian gangster, right after insulting his boss to his face. We don't see the full extent of Lenny's injuries, but judging by the fact that Viktor wipes his golf club clean afterwards, his kneecaps were most likely reduced to bloody pulps, leaving him screaming and cursing in pain. Yuri calmly tells Lenny that he'll have to drag himself all the way from the 18th hole back to the club shop in order to call for help. From that moment on, Lenny spends the rest of the film (and his life) in a wheelchair.

Those Two Guys: The junkies. "Selling stolen fur coats in the middle of summer, would not seem unusual to the average junkie mind." Also Roman and Mickey, who are inseparable and also in continued confusion over the whole situation they find themselves in. Among the villains, the Russian ex-Special Forces soldiers that are part of Uri's gang. Their introductory scene has them checking each other's battle scars.

Abuse Discretion Shot: In a flashback to Johnny Quid's childhood, his stepfather Lennie Cole is shown entering his bedroom and slapping him for playing and singing to loud music, telling him how much he hates him, and ordering him to keep the music down out of gratitude for Lennie sending him to boarding school in a month to get him out of his hair. As soon as his stepdad leaves the room, Johnny defiantly starts playing the music again, whereupon Lennie walks back into the room and starts taking his belt off. The flashback ends before we see Lennie start actually whipping his stepson.

Anachronism Stew: When we first meet Johnny, he flashes back to his childhood, singing in his bedroom. We are indicated it is fifteen years earlier by an on screen note. As the scene progresses and we see more of the boy's room, a PlayStation can clearly be seen under the boy's television. If the movie took place in the year 2008, this scene would be taking place in 1993, but this console was not released until the end of 1995.

Dragon Ascendant: It's heavily implied that Archy took over things for Lenny after his untimely demise. (Having Lenny's old driver, Johnny calling him a real rock n' rolla, the bit with The Russian and so forth.) Kind of a subversion as Archy was the one to kill Lenny. Not out of a Heel–Face Turn so much as really not appreciating being lied to or sent to jail.

Break the Haughty: Lenny. Pissing off Uri got him crippled for life via No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, and forced to drag himself a half mile or so to get help, to add insult to injury. And then Johnny handed off the file that showcased him as The Informant to Archy, well... Possibly also Stella. And then Uri and Victor tortured her to death.

Kick the Dog: Would be easier to say when Lenny isn't doing this on-screen, but the one act that stands out (because it hits Archy's Rage Breaking Point) is him having sold out about half of London's criminal underground (including a good chunk of the cast—and especially Archy) to the police for the amnesty, because he's racist and for the sake of Disproportionate Retribution (he put Archy in Hellhole Prison for four years just because he felt Archy was "getting full of himself").

Smoking Hot Sex: Downplayed. Stella smokes after having sex with One Two right before he leaves her in the house with Uri's painting and Uri finds her and kills her, but she was smoking before the sex as well. She smokes a lot, let's leave it at that.

The Unreveal: Uri's painting is never revealed. The most we can tell is that it's got a black field, glimpsed when the junkies sell it. Of course, the prop is probably just a blank, black surface.

Gayngster: Handsome Bob provides one of the more hilarious scenes of the movie when he comes out to his co-worker One Two. Turns out One Two was the only person who didn't know, and also the only one who had a hard time accepting it. For everyone else, the fact that Bob is awesome overrode the fact that Bob was gay. If it wasn't for Bob's quick thinking in Lennie's hideout, the whole Wild Bunch, Johnny and possibly Archy would be dead. He puts two-and-two together when Johnny mentions Lennie "grassing Archy up", to realize A: that "Sidney Shaw" is Lenny, and B: that Archy must know about "Sidney".

Plot Hole

Plot Hole: How did Johnny Quid know that Lenny was the one who made a deal with the police in court? It has never been explained. Archy and the others couldn't figure it out for years as well as Mr. One-Two and Co. having to go though lots of effort to find that info. Which they did by bribing Stella's gay husband, who was a lawyer in criminal cases, a date promise from Handsome Bob. While Johnny somehow knew that secret all along. What is twice weird is that he didn't tell anyone about Lenny. He at least could've told Archy who was suppose to be his friend.

Politically Incorrect Villain: Lenny is constantly griping about immigrants (even when the people in question are native Brits) and tossing around less than politically correct terms. Subverted by One Two, after finding out Handsome Bob has a crush on him. He initially goes on a homophobic rant, but then he feels guilty, apologises, and takes him to a slow dance at a gay club to make up for it.

Black-and-Gray Morality
 RocknRolla / int_8767b1f3
comment
Black-and-Gray Morality: The most sympathetic characters are Archy, Johnny Quid and the Wild Bunch. Archy is The Dragon for an underworld boss who kills or beats people without hesitation. Johnny is a drug addled rock star who routinely steals from people, (and threatens them with a knife if they protest) hands out No Holds Barred Beatdowns to bouncers who try to stop from getting into clubs, (and keeps going long after they have stopped being able to resist) and constantly physically and verbally abuses the people around him. The Wild Bunch are a trio of career criminals. The least sympathetic character is Lenny, (Archy's boss and Johnny's step-father) an arrogant man, abusive step-father, Politically Incorrect Villain, a crime boss who lowers victims into water to drown/be eaten alive by voracious crayfish, rips off the people who make deals with him so that he can get them in his debt, and has secretly given testimony that has put most of his men and partners into jail at one time or another in order to save himself from prosecution.

Unluckily, we get to see Victor wiping his club afterwards.

Initially being loyal to Lenny despite his distaste for the latter's sadism, Archy eventually turns on Lenny upon discovering that the latter had previously betrayed him. Uri's dragon, Victor, might qualify as well. It is mentioned by one of the Indestructible Russians that Victor saved his life during the Chechen War.

Unknowingly Possessing Stolen Goods: Towards the climax of the film, after having sex with Stella, One-Two the Scottish criminal leaves her a painting his friend Cookie gave him as a token of appreciation. Later on, Stella's boss Yuri the Russian gang leader visits her house to propose to her, as he has long wanted to do, only to find the painting in her flat, which she claims to have owned for years. Because the painting used to belong to Yuri (it's his "lucky painting", the theft of which kicked off the film's main plot), he does not find this funny, and orders Stella to be killed for supposedly stealing from him.

The dumb crackheads invited by one of Johnny's friends to the pad are the definitive article. They steal the painting (which Johnny had stolen from Lenny's house) the moment Johnny and Pedro turn their backs and take it to the closest pub for selling (they probably expected to sell it for a lot of money, but the people there, who care neither for art or for the two crackheads bothering them, interrupt their attempt at an opening speech to the "auction" and offer them 50 quid, which they immediately accept). The man who buys the painting is one of Stella's employees, who gives it to her and is the direct instigator of her death at the hands of Yuri.

Made of Iron: The Russian spetznaz. They survive their car being smashed by a truck, being shot, hit with bats and golf clubs, being thrown off the the hood of a car when it crashed, and still chase after the Wild Bunch in a prolonged chase scene. Lampshaded when Butler's character asks "What are these guys made of?!" Johnny Quid, in a weird way. He's already survived multiple rumored deaths. Even when strung out on drugs, he's capable of badass feats, ignores any injury, and ultimately survives a close-range gunshot wound inflicted by Lenny. He's still able to stand, deliver two headshots on Lenny's mooks, before collapsing from weakness. By the epilogue, he's even kicked the drug habit.

Not So Stoic
 RocknRolla / int_a8a4b41e
comment
Not So Stoic: Archy isn't quite an emotionless man, but when in Roman and Mickey's office/recording studio, he accidentally speaks into a hot microphone. Intrigued, he sings a quiet lyric into it before smiling at himself. When he sees the two producers and his own boss stare at him confused, he takes a few seconds to compose himself and get his intimidating face back on.

comment
Oh, Crap!: When the Russian gangsters just will not go down, there is a great one after one of them jumps onto the car. He puts the knife through the ceiling, after which One-Two stops the car. As everyone is thrown forward, One-Two just avoids having his face cut open by the potruding knife, and his face very much says this. After they see the Russian's other hand and knife coming for them over the bonnet, the entire Wild Bunch is afflicted by this trope:

Self-Defenseless: One Two gets maced, point-blank, in the face by Mumbles. It's certainly shown to hurt, and he needs nursing along for a minute or so, but he seems fine shortly afterwards and it never seems to affect his breathing. Also worth noting that the guy he was grappling with at the time, quite possibly within splashing range under the circumstances, suffered no apparent ill effects.

Too Dumb to Live
 RocknRolla / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: Stella, Stella, Stella. Ripping off seven million dollars from her employer once was incredibly dangerous and foolhardy (and if Uri had listened to Victor, suspicion would have fallen on her almost instantly), but doing it again right after was downright suicidal. She once more only evaded being traced as the security leak because Uri likes her too much to suspect her. There is a short Handwave for such recklessness in that the narrator says that Stella "has got bored of the safe life and is looking for excitement in all the wrong places". Ironically, while her plan did get Victor waiting for a reason to act against her, what did her in was simple bad luck of accepting the painting from One-Two and leaving it out where Uri could see it... although not realizing it was Uri's lucky painting if she's been working with him all this time is arguably ALSO too dumb to live.

Hyper-Competent Sidekick: June, Mickey and Roman's secretary, comes across as more effective and resourceful than her bosses (who spend a lot of time ineffectually blustering and fretting) in her few scenes. She is the one to suggest using street informants to find Johnny Quid and knows exactly how much money they stand to lose if any of their clubs get shut down.

Bulletproof Vest: To a ridiculous degree. One of the Russians catches about six rounds from an AK at close rangenote  Top-of-the-line ballistic plate armor can often stop as many as three (sure as Hell not five or six) rounds of 7.62x39mm FMJ before it fails (bigger bullets, armor-piercing ammo, and other variables notwithstanding). However, it's only guaranteed to stop the first one..., and is up chasing the Wild Bunch on foot for a prolonged period moments later.

Shout-Out
 RocknRolla / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The Russian gangsters share their stories on the scars they have on their bodies, a nod to the famous scene in Jaws. Their conversation is cut short by a truck smashing into the side of the car, in Jaws 'our shark' interrupts by smashing into the side of the boat. When Lenny Cole and Uri are talking business after the first payment of money has been stolen, there are oranges on the table they are having a drink at. The presence of oranges foreshadows the death of a character, much like they do in The Godfather trilogy.

Serial Escalation: On a meta level. Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels focused on working class criminals, with a less-than-a-million pound fee at stake. Snatch. was middle class and dealt with the diamond business. Here, it's about what Archy calls "the good life:" rock and roll, fancy houses, and millions of euros being thrown around.

Expy: Lenny Cole seems to be modeled pretty closely after Jimmy Price from Layer Cake, being a coarse, Politically Incorrect Villain whom mingles with legitimate businessmen and has mythical levels of influence over the authorities (such as keeping his men out of prison). More tellingly, like Jimmy, Lenny's influence comes from favors that he trades the police in exchange for ratting out other criminals whom he has personal beefs with, and he's killed by a loyal subordinate who he betrayed after being exposed.

Violent Glaswegian: Subverted with One-Two, the Scottish gangster played by Gerard Butler.

The most violent he ever gets is when he's fighting off the Spetnaz thugs, and they can tank his attacks and dish them back out.
