London Storyline

New York City. Syd has not seen or heard of his ex-girlfriend London in two months when he learns that her friend Rebecca is throwing her a farewell party at her parents’ upscale spacious condo as London is moving to Los Angeles tomorrow to be with her new boyfriend. Syd, still obsessed with London, decides to crash the party, and brings along Bateman, who he has just met, the two who have a common drug dealer and Bateman who is looking for a clean place to do their large stash of blow. Syd’s appearance does not sit well with Rebecca who wants to protect her friend from who she considers her crazy ex. Before London’s arrival, Syd and Bateman spend much of the party in the large upstairs bathroom – it the size of most apartments – to do their blow along with whoever else may show up in the bathroom. Syd is trying to get up the nerve to go out and face London, which becomes more and more difficult as time goes on if only because of not wanting to face her without a clear head. In the process, Syd, Bateman and their parade of guests in the bathroom talk about sex, love, philosophy, karma, and other broad life topics while certain talking points make Syd reflect on his two years with London. Even if he does get up the nerve to face London to tell her how he really feels, will it lead to London changing her mind about moving and will it bring London back into his life?

London Movie Reviews

Jason Statham

I was always a fan of Jason for his roles in Guy Ritchie’s flicks and his roles in the transporter series (one not two). But when i watched this film i was in complete awe after i witnessed his performance in this film,it was so real and charismatic it was spectacular. watching the beginning of the film i found it entertaining and creative and stylish but it was a specific scene that completely sold me. It was a scene with Jason Statham and Chris Evans as the two are in a bathroom( which they are in for quite some time) and the movie is an hour and ten minutes in when Jason Staham compares his pain with Chris Evans,Statham’s acting in that scene will forever change the way i see Jason Statham from now on. The film was directed with style and beauty. Many scenes in this film is the opposite of beauty but the way they are put on camera is done so beautifully. In conclusion I urge people to see this film even if the story does not sound appealing please watch it for Jason Statham’s magnificent role in the film. Although Jason was not the only great actor in the film, Chris Evans also played very realistically as well the whole cast overall, Also watch for Dane Cook as George or the guy that talks to London at the party.

Jason Statham with horrible hair piece best in a bad lot

Syd (Chris Evans) is depressed over his ex London (Jessica Biel). They were together for 2 and a half years having broken up 6 months ago. He crashes her going away party. He brings along drug dealer banker Bateman (Jason Statham). Rebecca (Isla Fisher) is throwing the party for her friend. Maya (Kelli Garner) and Mallory (Joy Bryant) talk to Syd as he recalls his life with London. George (Dane Cook) is a smart mouthed party goer. A big fight blows up the party and Syd ends up talking to London.

I don’t know why Statham has that hair piece. What’s the point? It is horribly distracting. Chris Evans also has ugly hair but there’s a reason for that. These are annoying, unlikeable, drugged up beautiful people talking about random drug induced stories. Sometimes the weird stuff can be funny like Statham’s but the bickering is mostly annoying. Statham gives the most compelling performance. Syd and London’s life together is unimaginative. They have bad chemistry. Also the movie is too stationary. Writer/director Hunter Richards needs to learn to add movement even in long dialog scenes.

Entertaining but Pointless Romance

In New York, the drug-addicted Syd (Chris Evans) is consumed by drugs and booze missing his girlfriend London (Jessica Biel), who broke with him six months ago after a two-year relationship. When Syd finds that London’s friends will promotes a going away party to her, he decides to go to the party without invitation. But first he meets the banker and drug-dealer Bateman (Jason Statham) in a bar to buy coke, and he invites his new acquaintance to go to the party with him. While locked in the bathroom with Bateman snorting coke and drinking booze, Syd recalls moments of his relationship with London, inclusive that he had never said “I love you” to his girlfriend despite her countless requests. Bateman also “open his heart” under the influence of cocaine and tells his impotence problem to Syd; in the end he convinces Syd to talk to London.

The weird “London” is an entertaining but pointless romance. Jason Statham wearing wig has a great performance and Jessica Biel is incredibly sexy and gorgeous in the role of London. However, the characters are not well developed and, for example, it is never clear how Syd can be wealthy and spend the days using drugs and booze without studying or working. Chris Evans is miscast in the role of a twenty-year old teenager (or young man), and his egocentric and arrogant character never creates the necessary empathy with the viewers or chemistry with London. Most of the dialogs and small talk are funny since most of the characters are coke-head under influence of cocaine and alcohol. Last but not the least, the story brings no message or moral in the end, going to nowhere with the open end. Like the poet says, “love is eternal while it lasts”. My vote is six.
