Movie Reviews of 24 Hours in London
Movie Review: double-crosses to infinity
Summary: 3 Stars
I would call this "imitation Guy Ritchie," but I don't know if this film came out before his two most famous works. Oops! I also don't know if he directed this or had some role in its creation. Still, if you like crime thrillers in the UK with a racially and sexually diverse cast, then you'll recognize his style in this.
I would say that in the US interracial couples are still taboo, which is a shame in a land that bases itself on freedom. I'd say most American films don't show interracial couples that often. However, this film had about three interracial pairs. Perhaps the British are more tolerant and supportive than on this side of the pond.
There are a lot of double-crosses in this film. On the one hand, it gives the viewers surprises. I also wonder if this is the East Asian influence on this work. After awhile, however, the double-crosses get confusing. You almost grow to expect them. It starts to make no sense, and not even be important, who lives or who is aligned with whom.
This movie didn't knock my socks off, but I didn't want to smash it with a hammer either. If you would like an underacheiving "Snatch," then here it is.
