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.

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

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

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.

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

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.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
