Critics Consensus

100 Streets strands its talented cast - led by a clearly overqualified Idris Elba - in the midst of a well-meaning but fatally contrived drama.

Dwight Brown

National Newspaper Publishers Association

The mark of a brilliant actor is that he/she can give a compelling performance even in a film that doesn't shine.

Elba oozes charisma and intelligent physicality even when on his knees snorting a line of coke ...

Neil Genzlinger

New York Times

It's a portrait of similar struggles existing in proximity of time and place; of individual battles being fought side by side yet alone.

Punch Drunk Critics

100 Streets has passion and is well-meaning, but the film's plot often misfires and leaves a sense of emptiness in its wake.

Rated: 2.5/5

Matthew Bond

The Mail on Sunday (UK)

Acting and writing are a little uneven, and the three strands sometimes feel contrived, but there's a strong central theme about the mess that people make of their lives and the mess that life can make of people.

Rated: 3/5

100 Streets doesn't redefine the genre, but it's an all around solid film that's worth checking out.

Not a fan of montage films. As is often the problem, the stories aren't connected other than via difficulties and tragedis, which could be said for thousands of lives out there. Rather bland film overall.

To be honest, having seen the scores, I was not expecting much. The acting was good, the individual stories were good enough (in the sense that each showed development and reasonable logic/sense). The fact that the intertwining did not really happen much does not take away from each individual component. It's not a film I would watch again this year, but a couple down the line, I might consider it. It was not a waste of time, I liked it!

Enjoyed it for the most part, but the interwoven aspect to each of the characters' stories needed to be a lot tighter. Instead, it wore like a loosely knitted jumper

Three people, three extraordinary stories. All lived out within a hundred London streets. Max (Idris Elba), a former rugby captain for Team England and celebrity struggles to keep his marriage together with his estranged wife, Emily (Gemma Arterton). The drug dealer Kingsley (Franz Drameh), who through a chance encounter with an aging actor Terence, finds inspiration to escape his life of petty crime and his disapproving mother. George (Charlie Creed-Miles) is a gentle cab driver looking for the chance to adopt a child and build a family with his long suffering wife, Kathy. How each man deals with his personal challenges reveals also how circumstance, accidental encounters and conscious decisions determine our fate... "100 Streets" is a clichéridden and slightly pretentious piece of film. We get some overacting at times, but I do like Gemma Arterton and Idris Elba, however they don´t manage to fully convice you here. The attempt to create a "Short Stories" with intertwining stories fails as the stories aren´t intriguing enough. And the ending is just not connecting the dots in a satisfying way.
