Movie Reviews of London to Brighton
Movie Review: Only 5 reviews? CRIMINAL.
Summary: 5 Stars
"L to B" is a most unusual sort of film. Rare is it that I am riveted by a film to such an extent that I ignore nature's call, but this one.....whoah. I would have refused to take my eyes off the screen even had a Chevy rammed right through the living room wall. There were no moments of lulling, no moment where you could take a breath and collect your thoughts- all you knew was that a horror was happening, had happened, or maybe hadn't happened...and oh, god what is gonna happen? a child locked in a bathroom wearing lipstick gives you an uneasiness that can only be satisfied by not moving a muscle. Whoever called this film "slight" in a previous review ought to have their head examined. There is nothing at all slight about this film, its a sucker punch, one a minute, for 90 minutes.
And not only that, but the acting is so good that it isn't even acting. Sam Spruell was one of the most understated gangsters i have ever seen on screen, and he made me as nervous as Javier Bardem's cattleprod-bearing psycho did in "No Country for Old Men". The ending wrapped things up in a completely schizophrenic way that I don't think I could have possibly seen coming. I can't say it is one of my favorite films. It simply takes too much out of you, and is so bleak and horrifying that it is best rewatched only to give others the benefit of seeing it for the first time. But it is a masterpiece.
Summary of London to Brighton
A riveting race against time through Britain?s brutal underworld?Kelly (Lorraine Stanley), a desperate prostitute, is bullied by her pimp into finding an underage girl for the sadistic pleasure of a ruthless mobster. She discovers Joanne (Georgia Groome), a 12-year-old runaway, who naively complies. But when the pedophile turns violent, Kelly intervenes and everything goes horribly wrong. Now the two girls are on the run, and innocence has nowhere to hide?
A startling debut from British writer-director Paul Andrew Williams, London To Brighton is the critically acclaimed urban thriller that has been called one of the most important British films of the new millennium. Violent, uncompromising and utterly enthralling, it features an excellent cast, razor sharp dialogue and an edge-of-your-seat, heart pounding climax.
