Critics Consensus

In spite of its spotless pedigree and a strong sense of visual style, London Boulevard stumbles over its frenetic pace and crowded, clichéd plot.

London Boulevard is a mess, a fascinating, exhilarating, infuriating, emotional, tragic and euphoric mess, but still a mess all the same.

Rated: 2/4

A stylish if familiar tale of a man hopelessly entangled in his past.

It doesn't really hang together, not really. But when a picture is this sleek and pleasurable, why complain?

Deep Focus Review

Monahan delivers a messy-if-mildly-enjoyable crime movie that should entertain, but won’t wow, fans of both the genre and these performers.

Rated: 2.5/4

Three Imaginary Girls

I particularly enjoyed strong performances from David Thewlis as Charlotte's quirky caretaker Jordan, and Pushing Daisies' Anna Friel acting the hell out of her role as Mitchel's train wreck of a sister, Briony.

So many people hated this movie but as a fan of British crime flicks and the Guy Ritchie school of cooler then life villains this absolutely fits the bill.

What a cast. What a let down. Nothing new, and what was there was done poorly. Disappointed.

What could've been a good story about the ex-con and the film star is ruined by way too many other characters and storylines. And what about Colin Farrell's awful London accent? Why not just let him be Irish? It's on a par with Jason Statham's American accent i.e. a real distraction. And it appears Farrell can only do it with his face completely immobilised...

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Great cast with some superb characterization from Ray Winstone. My issue with the film was I already watched Carlito's Way.
