Critic Reviews

Nathan Rabin

London has a distinct Off-Off-Broadway feel. There's a stagebound quality to its handful of claustrophobic locations, its endless assault of intense coke talk, and its third-rate invocation of David Mamet, David Rabe, and Neil LaBute. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

The film delivers lots of high-pitched hysteria but never manages to make its spoiled protagonists interesting. Read full review

Tim Grierson

Perhaps the best compliment that can be paid to Hunter Richards' directorial debut is that it nearly manages to make some of the most irritatingly shallow human beings on Earth seem tragic. Read full review

Neva Chonin

If London were a comedy, it just might work. Instead, it's a dead-serious marathon of angst from cool kids old enough to know they're mouthing cliches. Read full review

Michael Phillips

Newbie director Richards shoots all the women like slabs of meat, and his self-seriousness throughout London--some of it tries to be funny, a lot of it is funny by accident--borders on the delusional. Read full review

Kyle Smith

Syd is a jerk whose anger does not make him interesting. The only reason to keep watching is because you hope someone will drop a piano on his head. Read full review

Phil Hall

London is the independent film world's equivalent of a fiasco. Read full review

This movie is excellent, and I totally couldn't believe so many critics slam it.

These actors know how to pose, understand how to move: Evans crouching in torment, Statham

This movie captures the feeling of being high on coke in a thought provoking and engaging manner. Sure, the protagonist is an asshole, but he's also real. We don't have to like the main character in order to believe that the he's twisted.

OK lets not beat around the bush here. There is something very suspicious about the high ratings from the public for this movie. I'm in agreement with the critics this film is vacuous and instantly forgettable. I mean seriously if it was as good as the viewer ratings suggest why has theOK lets not beat around the bush here. There is something very suspicious about the high ratings from the public for this movie. I'm in agreement with the critics this film is vacuous and instantly forgettable. I mean seriously if it was as good as the viewer ratings suggest why has the director not made any movies since?. I'm guessing he got all his friends to write positive reviews.… Expand

I bought this film cheaply from a bargain bin and it was not even worth the five bucks I paid for it in my opinion. It contained the most usages of the word f*** I have ever heard in any film at any time and as such it deserves an all time worst film award. jason Statham does not save thisI bought this film cheaply from a bargain bin and it was not even worth the five bucks I paid for it in my opinion. It contained the most usages of the word f*** I have ever heard in any film at any time and as such it deserves an all time worst film award. jason Statham does not save this film from being a truly sordid experience to watch. I was surprised that jessica Biel was in this dog also since she is generally in more classy films. The film is more about drug use than anything else and that is also not much of a plot for a film to me. It tries to glamourize/normalize the issue of drug use and fails badly.… Expand

I thought with such an interesting cast this movie would get better as I watched it. I was completely wrong. This movie is horrible! It's on par with "Cabin Boy" and at
least that movie was trying to be funny. The only thing this movie has going for it is the actresses are extremely dropI thought with such an interesting cast this movie would get better as I watched it. I was completely wrong. This movie is horrible! It's on par with "Cabin Boy" and at
