Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
mjazzguitar-800-18970 I'm not sure if there will be any spoilers in here but I checked the box anyway in case I accidentally reveal more than I should have. I liked the movie, but there are some aspects that seemed so unrealistic that it somewhat put a damper on it for me. This guy invites a complete stranger to go to a party with him that he wasn't even invited to to begin with. It's in a super rich apartment and they go upstairs into the bathroom to do coke. The chick throwing the party doesn't even like him to begin with, yet she lets him and a stranger go upstairs and disappear for an hour? Not to mention she doesn't want people doing coke in her apartment. Nobody knocks on the door and asks to use the bathroom? Sure, maybe there was more than one, but at parties people have to relieve themselves all the time, and will use the other one if the first one is occupied. Usually there's a line of people waiting. Another thing is they have an enormous pile of blow on a painting on the sink and they're not concerned about someone coming along? It's not like you can pick up a huge pile of powder and just stuff it in a baggy in a couple of seconds. And you never see them picking it back up before going downstairs. And that giant window in the bathroom- I know it had an okay view and everything, but no curtains? Maybe I'm getting picky in my old age.
MrGlassback I only watched this cos I was bored and ended up loving it. It is by far the most realistic portrayal of drug users since Trainspotting.There is no misguided moral of the evils of drugs being rammed down your throat and the relationships are realistic enough for you to know this may not have a fairytale ending. Chris Evans is fantastic but it's Jason Statham who stole the show for me. These two worked well together, which was convenient as most of the film is cocaine induced dialogue between the two of them which is frighteningly realistic to anyone familiar with these types of drug fuelled rants. (Stathams psychotic outburst about why he split up with his wife being the stand out moment.)Well worth a watch, especially if you are able to relate to the state of existence Chris Evans character finds himself in.
namashi_1 Hunter Richards directed 'London' is a dull, dry & disappointing experience. Here's why: Some films lack a solid script , some films are just plain bland & 'London' is one of those films! 'London' is about a girl called London who has ditched her boy-friend of 2 years. So before leaving town, she's keeps good-bye see-ya party where various characters meet & the journey continues throughout the night. Now, this one's a interesting idea on paper, not on celluloid. The writing & direction by Hunter Richards is simply bland.Coming to the acting department, Jessica Biel as London pitches in a sincere performance. Chris Evans plays a troubled character with tolerance. Jason Statham is wasted & it's funny to see an action-icon like him appearing in such roles. Isla Fisher & Dane Cook get nothing to do in brief roles.All said n done, 'London' holds scant appeal.
Claudio Carvalho In New York, the drug-addicted Syd (Chris Evans) is consumed by drugs and booze missing his girlfriend London (Jessica Biel), who broke with him six months ago after a two-year relationship. When Syd finds that London's friends will promotes a going away party to her, he decides to go to the party without invitation. But first he meets the banker and drug-dealer Bateman (Jason Statham) in a bar to buy coke, and he invites his new acquaintance to go to the party with him. While locked in the bathroom with Bateman snorting coke and drinking booze, Syd recalls moments of his relationship with London, inclusive that he had never said "I love you" to his girlfriend despite her countless requests. Bateman also "open his heart" under the influence of cocaine and tells his impotence problem to Syd; in the end he convinces Syd to talk to London.The weird "London" is an entertaining but pointless romance. Jason Statham wearing wig has a great performance and Jessica Biel is incredibly sexy and gorgeous in the role of London. However, the characters are not well developed and, for example, it is never clear how Syd can be wealthy and spend the days using drugs and booze without studying or working. Chris Evans is miscast in the role of a twenty-year old teenager (or young man), and his egocentric and arrogant character never creates the necessary empathy with the viewers or chemistry with London. Most of the dialogs and small talk are funny since most of the characters are coke-head under influence of cocaine and alcohol. Last but not the least, the story brings no message or moral in the end, going to nowhere with the open end. Like the poet says, "love is eternal while it lasts". My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "London"
