RocknRolla is a 2008 British crime film written and directed by Guy Ritchie, and starring Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Mark Strong, Thandie Newton, Idris Elba, Ludacris, Gemma Arterton and Dragan Micanovic. The film revolves around Lenny, a "rocknrolla" (a successful crime boss and jack-the-lad), and was made in London. It was released on 5 September 2008 in the UK, hitting #1 in the UK box office in its first week of release. Lenny Cole (Tom Wilkinson), the rocknrolla of the title, is a crime boss who calls the shots in London's underworld and real estate market. We learn all about Lenny and his methods of acquisition from Archy (Mark Strong)-his second in command-who serves as the film's narrator. The main characters are introduced in Archy's opening voiceover. A billionaire Russian businessman, Uri Omovich (Karel Roden), plans a crooked land deal, and London's crooks all want a piece of it. Other key players include the underhand accountant Stella (Thandie Newton) and ambitious small-time crook One-Two (Gerard Butler).
