What to Know

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. Go to Full Review

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

2.5/4
Monahan delivers a messy-if-mildly-enjoyable crime movie that should entertain, but won’t wow, fans of both the genre and these performers. Go to Full Review

Cool. Hip. Slick. Loving London Boulevard. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

james b @Forthescreen 54m London Boulevard is a moody, sharply dressed crime drama that tries to fuse gangster grit with tragic romance. Set against the shadowy corners and affluent facades of modern London, it’s a film that values atmosphere as much as narrative — sometimes to its own detriment. Collin feral is great as always if you’re a fan of him you are going to like it. You are not going to think this is the best film in the world but you will enjoy its twists and turns London back drop. Not every film has to blow your socks off to be really good or watchable or even memorable. See more Pino P 11/23/2024 Definetly the film that, with Triage, made me appreciate Colin Farrel who I, so far, had only seen like an beautiful actor suted to roles in more commercial film: I sow that fil two time at least and I found int a bit a Tatarantino's taste with English flavour. More, the music , something of which appeared to be simiilar to "Radio Head" one , are very fashioning-british rock See more philip w 02/05/2023 A good film — can't understand all low scores - go for it — it's violent mind See more 07/12/2022 Great cast with some superb characterization from Ray Winstone. My issue with the film was I already watched Carlito's Way. See more andrea c @Charst 03/16/2022 Gangster movie, thriller e storia d'amore; il tutto in poco più di 90 minuti; forse troppo pochi per esprimere a pieno il potenziale del film. Sicuramente la trama non spicca per originalità, anzi tutt'altro. Però Colin Farrell calza a pennello per la parte; peccato non aver sviluppato abbastanza il personaggio di Keira Knightley, interessante e sicuramente il più originale tra tutti. Ottima colonna sonora, perfetta per il tipo di film ed il contesto british; e buoni anche i ritmi elevati. See more colin m 02/06/2022 Thugs doing thuggery for 90 minutes. See more Read all reviews
