Our Review
“London” is a film that captures the raw essence of emotional turmoil following a breakup. The performances, especially by Chris Evans and Jason Statham, are notably strong, bringing depth to their characters. The film’s unconventional setting, primarily in a bathroom, adds an intimate and claustrophobic feel to the narrative. While the story is simple, the execution is complex, offering an insightful look into the human psyche. However, its heavy reliance on dialogue and limited locations might not appeal to all viewers. Overall, “London” stands out for its bold storytelling and character-driven plot.”
