Diagonaldi Very well executed

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Aryana Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Ron Sanders What's the most honest conversation you've ever had? What did it take to get you there?I saw this movie by accident years ago and initially got caught up in the train wreck of the characters lives. However, as the story continues with absolutely perfectly framed scenes it slowly strips away the characters every wall, crutch, and dependency by which they hide the truth about themselves. What's left are the connections they have made with each other. If you can grasp that, welcome...enjoy the party. You'll appreciate the set pieces/props and their metaphoric roll, from Wheatfield with Crows to Buddha.Hunter Richards is absolutely brilliant and doesn't get enough credit and the critics have deprived us all of a magnificent director....if you just see drug addicts and sexualization there's always cartoons or Michael Bay films - both fun to watch.

Asif Khan (asifahsankhan) Directed by Hunter Richards - it's okay if you don't know him. "London" is kinda' like the real inside story of two straight dudes shooting the wrath out of their sexual and emotional impotence inside a studio- sized bathroom, has almost the feel of adult film actors preparing themselves before the makings of a great dude flick. (Just kidding)Syd (Chris Evans) and Bateman (Jason Statham) as they pace the floor of a bathroom at a Manhattan party, inhaling untold amounts of cocaine. Syd also guzzles tequila from a bottle. He met Bateman in a bar and insisted the older man, a Brit, accompany him to the party. He needed someone along for moral support because it was a going- away party for his girlfriend, London (Jessica Biel), and Syd wasn't invited. After I got to know Syd, I was not surprised that he wasn't invited, and I was not surprised that she was going away.Let's track back a little shall we? When we first see Syd, he has just treated himself to cocaine and the remains of a beer, and passed out in his apartment. The phone rings, he learns about the party, uses the f-word for the first of, oh, several hundred times and smashes up the place, including a big aquarium. Curious, that when the aquarium shatters, there are no shots of desperate fish gasping on the floor. Maybe Nemo has already led them to freedom.At the party, Syd and Bateman get relentlessly stoned while discussing the kinds of tiresome subjects that seem important in the middle of the night in a bar when two drunks analyse the meaning of it all. Bartenders have been known to drink in order to endure these conversations. They usually consist of the two drunks exchanging monologues. During the parts when sober people would be listening, drunks are waiting until they get to talk again. Syd and Bateman are powerless over dialogue and their scenarios have become unmanageable.There are personal confessions. Syd relates his unhappy romance with London, and we get flashbacks of them fighting, loving, talking, weeping and running through all the other exercises in Acting 101. Bateman was married once but it didn't work out.Need something to humour on? Syd is amazed that Bateman pays $200 to be treated in such a way, although I am not sure if he is amazed it is so much or so little.Insight is slim here—just your run-of-the-mill S&M fantasies, stoner conversations about the existence of God, and Syd's inability to say "I love you"—but Richards spikes the script with some funny one- liners (their utter randomness suggests they were collected on bar napkins over the years) and makes hilarious use of Evans's tattooed, exposed flesh. Statham on the other end is also impressive. Good to see the actor in some real emotional mess. You'd be more amazed to see Statham with the hair though, more-so than he's good acting performance.Overall, this is a pretty emotional flick (both guy/chick). Anyone who's been through some rough love/lust escapade will surely understand this film.Two things mystify me. (1) How can you use that much cocaine and drink that much booze and remain standing and keep speaking, especially in the case of Syd, who was already stoned when he started? (2) Where is the camera? At least half of the movie is shot in the bathroom, which has a mirror along one wall. The mirror should be reflecting a camera, but I didn't see one.

PeachHamBeach For some reason I enjoyed this as much as I did THE RULES OF ATTRACTION and IN MEMORY OF MY FATHER (actually the latter is a FUNERAL movie, not a PARTY one, but...). I can't explain it. I just enjoyed the endless scenes of partying, drugging and drinking and wacky dialogue about pregnant rabbits, rice experiments and impotence destroying every aspect of a man's life.In short, losers at a party, bawling, fighting, reminiscing, and making complete asses of themselves. Chris Evans acts his hind-end off and is an absolute joy as he curses out his psychiatrist and later gets cursed out by Jason Statham, who is also a load of pure fun!!! Jessica Biel is good too, but really, Evans and Statham and their priceless banter are the reason this movie is fun to watch.The ending was a bit cryptic. This couple fought like dogs and cats, yet somehow, they truly loved each other. They had some kind of bond. It was touching while it was a bit baffling.

Claudio Carvalho In New York, the drug-addicted Syd (Chris Evans) is consumed by drugs and booze missing his girlfriend London (Jessica Biel), who broke with him six months ago after a two-year relationship. When Syd finds that London's friends will promotes a going away party to her, he decides to go to the party without invitation. But first he meets the banker and drug-dealer Bateman (Jason Statham) in a bar to buy coke, and he invites his new acquaintance to go to the party with him. While locked in the bathroom with Bateman snorting coke and drinking booze, Syd recalls moments of his relationship with London, inclusive that he had never said "I love you" to his girlfriend despite her countless requests. Bateman also "open his heart" under the influence of cocaine and tells his impotence problem to Syd; in the end he convinces Syd to talk to London.The weird "London" is an entertaining but pointless romance. Jason Statham wearing wig has a great performance and Jessica Biel is incredibly sexy and gorgeous in the role of London. However, the characters are not well developed and, for example, it is never clear how Syd can be wealthy and spend the days using drugs and booze without studying or working. Chris Evans is miscast in the role of a twenty-year old teenager (or young man), and his egocentric and arrogant character never creates the necessary empathy with the viewers or chemistry with London. Most of the dialogs and small talk are funny since most of the characters are coke-head under influence of cocaine and alcohol. Last but not the least, the story brings no message or moral in the end, going to nowhere with the open end. Like the poet says, "love is eternal while it lasts". My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "London"
