Critics Consensus

London Calling struggles to execute its promising premise, delivering a second-tier crime comedy where cheap laughs and tired tropes overshadow flashes of fun and character chemistry.

Phil Hoad

Guardian

This underworld knockabout has its moments, but sharper writing could have lifted it way higher.

Rated: 2/5

Like its handsome anti-hero, this movie sometimes misfires, but it is easy on the eyes.

Peyton Robinson

RogerEbert.com

Allan Ungar’s assassin turned subverted buddy-cop film takes a long time to get on its feet, and once it does, it still stumbles there. It’s a bit of a tropey mess, but the intent is clear: to have fun.

Rated: 1.5/4

Epoch Times

Veteran assassin is forced to help a crime boss's son become a man—a hitman—in a series of wacky, action-filled setups. Fun premise, bad execution—pun intended.

Original Cin

A solid followup from director Allan Ungar and star Josh Duhamel (2022’s Bandit), London Calling hilariously skews many tropes of old road/buddy movies, as a myopic hit man takes on a young acolyte. Great needle drops too, including the title track. 

Rated: B

"London Calling" won’t redefine the action genre, but it’s a breezy, watchable ride.

This movie started out strong, but once it landed to Los Angeles, the writers kept on ham-fisting American references every so often. A gamer goofball in an action movie with an insufferable father and the main character that is somewhat blind but still able to drive. There are CLEARLY two different movies here that got mashed together just for comedy sakes.

A few genuinely funny moments don’t make up for the lack of wit in the writing. London Calling starts off strong but gradually plummets as the movie goes on.

A really well done story that created an entertaining ride. Captivating story, visually stunning from beginning to end, and heart driven characters that pull you in. The ensemble cast really build upon each other throughout their journey, building character throughout. Would easily recommend!
