Lords of London

Picked this up on DVD cheaply as a new release so wasn't expecting much, maybe a low grade gangster flick, but it is a well put together and thought out film, with good performances and some very clever plotting.

Not really a gangster film in the true sense of the genre, excellent twist and good idea from Glen Murphy.

Winstone is at his snarling malevolent best, obviously doing friend Murphy a favour in appearing but gives a strong performance as an unlikeable bully.

Well worth a watch, one of the best thought out and most original films I've seen in a while

Probably the worst movie I have seen in the last 12 months. Haven't seen Glen Murphy since London's Burning, and all he seem to do is run about. Ray Winstone, I had a bet with myself as to how long it would take before he swore, I think it was 30 seconds, and so it continued throughout the movie. I do wonder how much it affects young children who have a part in this sort of movie. I note that the child in the movie surname was Murphy, is he the son of Glen. Mr Murphy was also one of the Producers of the movie and I'm sure his time, money and effort could have been spent on a movie worthy of his talent. It would seem from a previous reviewer that this movie has been released on DVD save your money.

Wow. This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Basically you figure out the whole story within the first 10 minutes of the movie (not kidding) and then spend the rest of this 90 minute snooze fest waiting for the main character to figure it out as well.

Main characters that behave unbelievably stupid and take painfully long to figure out the obvious are nothing new, but this one might seriously be a contender for worst of all time. To add insult to injury, the director probably thinks his audience is equally retarded, as the same hints at the big mystic truth get repeated over and over again in more and more obvious fashion until even a braindead monkey would understand what its all about. Since that is basically the whole film, you are looking at 90 minutes of countless repetitions of the same scenes in minor variations.

This wouldn't be as bad as it is, if these scenes weren't completely boring and meaningless once there is no mystery left which they help to uncover (which again, you basically have it all figured out 10 minutes into the movie, guaranteed!) I really wonder how this could win awards. Also this has not much to do with a Gangster film, the title poster is VERY misleading. This is my first review, I actually made an account just to warn people of this extremely bad movie.

Totally misleading title and description.If,like me,you see Ray Winstone and like the sound of the title do yourself a huge favour and steer well clear of this movie.It thinks it's very clever but it's far from it.Actually now that I'm sitting here about to describe how bad it is,words fail me so I'm going to recommend that you watch it then you can share my pain.It's about 90 minutes of your life that you will never ever,ever get back.The acting I can't fault and the setting is lovely but nothing can save this movie.Slow and boringly paced,lack of direction,decent idea but badly executed.I could go on but I have stuff to do for the next couple of days.

Just wasted 90 minutes of my life that I'll never get back. Probably the worst film I have ever seen, absolute rubbish. Big fan of Ray Winstone, but what was he thinking, getting involved with this garbage?

The plot is so weak it doesnt stand up, I sussed it when Tony Lord woke up in a derelict building..... Who was the girl that shot Mr Lord at the end? Disjoined, weak waste of time, if I could give it 0 stars I would.
