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

Waste of time. 1 star is generous. Certified cat meat hence the title of my review.

Sold down the river with the case of the DVD.

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.

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.

The idea is okay but is not developed and the movie is way too short. I was waiting for something to develop and something to happen but it never did. I think the plot and action could have been really fitted into 30 minutes rather than one hour and 30 minutes. The opening scene does not make a lot of sense and we are left wondering why the protagonist is left where he is in a house above a village in Italy, and why he is left there?

Serena Iansitti is the only reason I watched this forgetable film and what a wonderful reason it is. She is imo the most beautiful woman in the world. She featured in the television series Montalbano however I haven't seen her in any other film unfortunately, much as I would love to.
