In London, a real-estate scam puts millions of pounds up for grabs, attracting the city's scrappiest tough guys and its more established underworld types, all of whom are looking to get rich quick.

RocknRolla is your prototypical gangster movie. It doesn't disappoint in featuring all of the affable mobsters, crime-lords, violence and cash one would come to expect from such a film. However, rather than an original revival of the genre it simply produces a tired archetype that seems all too familiar. It lacks coherency, and a narrator constantly explaining the storyline is testimony to the overly convoluted plot. Only worth watching for gangster-film-groupies.
