This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

this movie is the definition of awful, this movie really sucked. It was a cheap rip off of a Woo film were the main actors put on fake British accents and shoot anything that moves. Now that's no reason to give this movie a one it could still be fun, right? No it can't the action sucked. there is no cool action moves or stylish camera-work just the camera in front of a guy who pulls the trigger on his gun. The only reason i give this film (if you can call it that) one star is because of the movie's case lured me into actually buying it and the beginning credits music, if you are stuck with the movie don't watch it you'll have a better time staring at the case and listening to the beginning credits music. in conclusion, this movie isn't an action flick because the action just will give you a headache, this movie isn't a comedy because it's not funny, and it certainly is not a British gangster movie seeing that the creators of the film probably don't even know the definition of cockney is, to sum it all up, as a good British Gangstar movie would say "stay away from this Brad Pitt". Recomondations: for a good British gangster movies look up Snatch, Lock stock and two smokin barrels, and if you seen those try to find Gangstar no.1. not as good but pretty close

I was at my local blockbuster and was turned on to this movie. Also I heard that it was Tarantinoesque. Me being a big Tarantino fan, was excited to see it. Let's put it this way, I put it in and wasted two hours of my life. The writing in this film is for lack of a better word, appalling. I wrote better stuff when I was a freshman in high school. The script was full of cliché and all around bad dialog. Another beef I had with it was the action. It was like they watched an 8 year old play with action figures and based the action in the movie on this. The plot is stupid as well, there is a twist at the end (which I will not disclose) that made me feel embarrassed for the writer. I also couldn't get a feel for what time they were in, it seemed simi future based on the police garb, but then the cars and everything else seemed modern...Weird. In retrospect, had they thought everything out a little more and took the thousands of clichés out of the script, this movie has potential for good, but just turned out a stinky crap fest. See it if you must, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Great fun, but the assorted crooks in this one would do well to watch some Discovery Channel detective shows. "Bubbles" Healy is a wonderfully evil character, though. & Leon's deadpan description of his injuries later on is not to be missed. I enjoyed the heck out of the film, though that may say more about my tastes than the merits of 24hrs in London...

***SLIGHT SPOILERS*** Maybe some spoilers, but it really doesn't matter...Wow. When you look at the cover of this film, and see that it's a London crime film.... you kind of get high hopes for this movie. Make no mistake, this is really REALLY bad. I've never submitted a comment on a movie before, but I HAD to for this one.... that must say something. First of all, the actors in this movie make the actors in soap operas and pornos look like Oscar winners. The acting is that bad. There isn't one believable, entertaining, interesting character in this thing. Well, the one "tough guy" of the four goons (the short bald one) was mildly entertaining, but he got killed off pretty quickly.... darn. I also read that there were some great "one-liners" in this movie, but I didn't hear any. There's a really lame twist at the end.... big surprise. Oh, it's also a lot of fun when you can see the dead bodies breathing (I haven't seen that blunder in film in quite some time). The whole thing is just really sloppy and uninteresting. It could probably be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I guess it has some decent violence and gunplay in it, but even it is rediculous and unrealistic, with very poor effects (big flashes of light when someone gets shot from point blank range). It also looks like none of these people have ever fired or held a gun before, for that matter. Rent it if you must, but this movie is pretty much just a waste of time.
