Rogue City ending explained

After several major plot twists, the film appears to end on a 'happily ever after' note as all the team members of Vronski part ways. However, that's where the biggest twist of the film lies. As Vronski enjoys his life by the sea, a speedboat is shown approaching him, cut to each member of his team being violently killed. Among all the members, Georges Campana (Patrick Catalifo) is the first to be murdered as he is stabbed to death while walking down the street, followed by Ange Leonetti's (Jean Reno) death by being drowned in his own swimming pool. 

Furthermore, Max Beaumont (Kaaris) and Zach Damato (David Belle) are shot dead by two gunmen while they were sat in their car. The Bastanis also fall victim to the killing spree as they are killed in a car explosion as soon as they start the engine of their vehicle. However, the final two killings are the most brutal. Vronski is shot dead in front of his wife Zoé's eyes while Leonetti's daughter is shown to be confronted by two unknown men. It is later revealed that the person behind all the killings is Vronski's rival Stephan Jankovic (Eriq Ebouaney). However, the reason behind him doing so is not overtly mentioned in the film. It appears that Stephan killed everyone as an act of revenge for Vronski’s unorthodox methods.
