Who is the main crime boss in 'RocknRolla'?
Lenny Cole (Tom Wilkinson) is a formidable crime boss ruling over London’s gritty underworld and its booming real estate market. The narrative unfolds through the eyes of Archy, Lenny’s second-in-command, who serves as the film’s engaging narrator. When a wealthy Russian property tycoon, Yuri Omovich ([Roden]), seeks Lenny’s assistance on a substantial deal, Lenny is quick to oblige—at a hefty price, naturally. Yuri agrees to the payment and, as a gesture of trust, insists that Lenny borrow his “lucky” painting. However, things take a turn when Yuri enlists his accountant, Stella ([Newton]), to transfer the funds, leading her to orchestrate a heist by a gang of thieves known as The Wild Bunch, which includes One Two (Gerard Butler) and Mumbles (Idris Elba). Their mission is to intercept the payment before it reaches Lenny, leading to a complex web of deceit.
The situation intensifies when Lenny’s estranged stepson, the drug-addled rock star Johnny Quid, is suspected of having stolen the very painting that everyone is so eager to find. As Lenny frantically searches for the painting, Yuri’s ruthless henchmen start to close in, eager to reclaim their money. Desperate to locate Johnny, Lenny and Archy enlist the help of Mickey ([Ludacris]) and Roman ([Piven]), his former record producers, who have their own stakes in the matter, as the closure of their concerts and clubs hangs in the balance.
Amidst this chaos, Handsome Bob ([Tom Hardy]) faces his own demons as he prepares for a five-year prison sentence. In a bid to lift his spirits, One Two throws a party for Bob, leading to an unexpected and awkward confession as Bob reveals his feelings for One Two. The night spirals into a complicated emotional encounter before One Two learns the extent of Bob’s challenges.
However, the heist goes awry when One Two, Mumbles, and Bob find themselves in a life-threatening shootout with Yuri’s mercenaries. Even amid the mayhem, they manage to deliver the cash to Stella, but not without consequences. Yuri grows increasingly suspicious, leading to Lenny suffering severe repercussions as he is mercilessly beaten while Yuri demands the return of the painting and his money.
As the plot thickens, two junkies inadvertently steal the painting from Johnny and sell it to The Wild Bunch. After a string of dramatic encounters and revelations, including a showdown between Lenny and Johnny that culminates in violence, the layers of betrayal begin to unravel. Archy discovers Lenny’s treachery—he has been ratting out associates in exchange for his freedom, including Archy himself.
Johnny, Mickey, and Roman’s eventual escape from Lenny’s men showcases their cleverness and tenacity. Johnny’s transition from a chaotic life toward newfound stability begins to take shape as Archy welcomes him back from the hospital, presenting the lucky painting as a symbol of reconciliation. They share a laugh about the price paid for it, with Johnny asserting his determination to finally embrace his identity and create music freely as a “real RocknRolla.” The film wraps up with a poignant moment showing the bond between One Two and Bob as they share a dance, leaving viewers with a glimpse of the unexpected connections forged amid the tangled situations of life.
