"Watched: 1/19-20/12 1st Viewing Thoughts: Critically speaking, 'London Boulevard' is predictable, cliche, and unoriginal. I have two sides to me, one being the aforementioned critical side, the other being a general movie goer who sees the entertainment value in films. I use both pretty equally. I've read that this is supposed to be similar to 'The Departed'. In a sense, that's somewhat true. Some of the scenes have that written all over it, mostly the music overlay.

"11.01.2012 "I'm not going back inside Billy. Ever. For no one." "Then don't get caught." This was just a boring Guy Richie wannabe gangster film. The only thing i liked about it was Colin Farrell. He is one of few actors that can make even shit like this watchable. What a terrible ending it had as well. It was supposed to be some sort of tragic twist, but i just ended up laughing at it's ridiculousness. I need to stop renting these direct-to-video films. "

“good film, my only complaint is there weren't enough scenes with farrell & knightley together. i won't ruin it but the ending was a surprise, very rare these days in film.” read more
