There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

People have definitely underrated this movie. At the end of the movie I was shocked and amazed at what had happened and thought that it was a great cliffhanger

A surprising movie in many ways, Londm Boulevard rewards the watcher. It's filled with classy British acting, and a great script. A slow, but stylish story, which kept me entertained way better than expected, with a poster looking quite more like a crime story. It's bleach, no doubt! Well, criminal it is, for sure. But it's more brutal than you expect, based upon a novel by Ken Bruen, of which I knew nothing about in beforehand.Mitchel gets out after three years in prison, determined that he wants to get away from the criminal scene, which is obviously a merciless environment. But that's almost impossible, as his old pals are all expecting him to do jobs. He takes a job as a lifeguard for a famous actor, but is this his way out. Well he thinks so, though his led environment both is difficult to get rid of, and the marks on his gangster soul is also difficult to run from.Colin Farrell is better here than I've ever seen him. Keira Knightley dies a good job, but doesn't steal the screen from him. But then the film is followed by great acting in minor roles by a load of great British actors. I must say I started loving each and every one of them, down to the brief encounter with the youngsters in extra-roles. What a great instructor director William Monahan is!And not only that! The film is scattered with a great soundtrack which is almost worth watching the film blindfolded! Starting off with (what I believe is a '66) Rolling Stones tune, we follow up with the Yardbirds, Pretty Things, the 22-20's, the Nox Tops, Drek and Cluve, the Electric Banana, the Knickerbockers, Kasanian, Bob Dylan, Annu Malik and a lot of other great stuff which I don't recognize, all with a sixties feel. Simply marvelous! And very suitable for the flick as well. Yummy! This was well suited.Maybe the best British gangster movie I've seen, if you not count in the couple which are all a big laugh as well. Because this is hasn't got the wit of "Snatch." or "Two smoking barrels", but is way more serious.This film was so great that I watched it a second time, on which I added an extra star! Look out for this film maker! I certainly will!

Actually good film. It's about gangster who doesn't want to be that any more. It shows that you can't just walk away from people/business, if you want it. You have to be bad when messing with bad guys. If you want to leave it you have to remove the bad guys first. Cause if you have something to lose, you will eventually lost it. Don't have mercy. Do what you must. Know who to trust. The more you wait, the more damage can be done to you. Movie is not full of action but has good story with enough action to keep it going. If you love action or movies with gangsters you will love it. Clearly underrated movie, it deserves 8, no less.

I asked the DVD store guy for an action ROM-com.He misunderstood what I said with romantic-drama and gave me this DVD.I watch British movies now & then 7 liked most of them.So, went ahead and bought it.I rushed to my home to watch it(BTW I know you don't wanna know you don't give a damn about why & where I 've bought the DVD but I wrote it because of the 10 line rule of IMDb).Now about the movie,it was a stereophonic European movie in which everyone died at the end except Keira Knightly.From the beginning till the end it had too much of conversation and less of action really made me go to sleep.If there is anything I liked in this movie,then It would be,Ferrel punching Winstone's girlfriend & Ray Winstone killing Anna Friel.I was pretty much disappointed with the movie and would recommend it only if you like movies with -'ve ending.
