24 Hours in London (2000)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

A well written script and a surprisingly well produced film when you consider the money (or lack of) that went into 24 hours in London, it set the mould for the drivel that then followed it (lock stock, etc). Not having come out at the right time might have harmed the audience's acceptance of this film, but it stands none the less a pleasurable and at times very funny film. Steering away from the usual clichés and injecting humour where American toss would usually reside, makes this movie well worth a look. a promising start for first time director and writer Alex Finbow, and a welcomed break from the mind numbing boredom of blockbuster and art house cinema.

This movie was terrible. I thought it would be good, but it was not. I do not know what other British-made movies were like, but this sucked. A young woman has witnessed a major gang-deal gone bad, and now Christian (the mob leader) and his gang are trying to have her killed within 24 hours. Two mobsters break into the futuristic police station, and without being hit by a single bullet until the end, they gun down over a dozen heavily-armed SWAT team members. This is even more unbelievable than a video game with cheat codes. There are dumb cops guarding the young woman for the rest of the film, and every time mobsters try to kill her, something goes wrong and the mobsters end up dead. This takes place in the future, so maybe the film's producers will use its futuristic-location as an excuse to why the film was not only extremely fake to the point where it was no longer entertaining, but horrible. Feel free to email me with any questions or comments.

Great fun, but the assorted crooks in this one would do well to watch some Discovery Channel detective shows. "Bubbles" Healy is a wonderfully evil character, though. & Leon's deadpan description of his injuries later on is not to be missed. I enjoyed the heck out of the film, though that may say more about my tastes than the merits of 24hrs in London...

No, this wasn't the best movie ever, and I have my fair share of criticisms I'll expound on later, but how can so many people say this was the worst movie ever? I mean come on! That is a bold statement. Think of all the stinkers out there, that are universally considered bad...and to put such a label implies that the reviewer wasn't entertained in the least.Anyway, this is an entertaining flick. It has spectacular gunfights, great characters, tons of double crosses and a great soundtrack. Though the plot is clichéd, the action unrealistic, and the setup ridiculous ***SPOILERS***(the main bad guy Christian, kept sending in his people like lambs to the slaughter...and the same thing kept happening...his right hand man kept calling them and saying, "No Answer...", well duh, you sent them into certain death! Two to four guys are no match for a platoon of swat members. This kept happening until he ran out of guys and he himself had to go in. This made me laugh out loud)***END SPOILERS***Despite my negative comments, this movie still entertained the hell out of me. Take it for what it is even though it rips off Pulp Fiction, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and of course, The Boondock Saints. The direction and action is what makes this film, and is perfect for a lazy Saturday night. Keep in mind, this is an action flick, it isn't going to win any Oscars by default...it's main purpose is to entertain and it did it quite effectively. I give it 5/10 stars.
