Waste of Time, November 26, 2002
This review is from: 24 Hours in London (DVD)
Unlike Guy Ritchie's films, which seem to come together as the plot builds, this film falls apart as the story progresses. The characters are not convincing at all (horrid horrid acting). Some of the roles don't make any sense...The jokes are lame. It does not have that sense of tounge in cheek hipness that rolls through Lock Stock and Snatch.
With no attatchment to any of the characters in the story, the plot unfolds rather tepidly, since all of the acton is just redundancy. The gangsters don't even look intimidating, Bubbles (the womanizing sex fiend) looks more like a woussy effminate disco clown, Tony the american mobster looks and sounds more like someone who wants to be a gangster, rather than a James Gandolfini type. The main villian is almost laughable and his serious monologue moments (why he uses a sword, for instance) seem so silly that it would have been better if he didn't talk at all.
As more plot twists are thrown in at the end, the plot holes actually get alot worse, rather than come together....

jesus..., April 29, 2003
This review is from: 24 Hours in London (DVD)
I only bought this because I was high and it looked like a cool video game thing on the cover. Unfortunitally it was one of the worst movies ever, but what the hell I'll just break it.

Hong Kong on the Themse, March 9, 2011
This review is from: 24 Hours in London (DVD)
It is hard writing comment on a law budget movie with action around action of which all personages are partly-police, partly-crims hunting each other and mercilessly blooding any on their ways while a ringleader tries getting a rid of his-assassin-to-be witnessing the massacre.
Love-lines and sex-for-sale motive have been deployed.
To a reviewer, a general impression is a typical Hong-Kong style movie with correction on modern UK ethnicity.
