London Boulevard

London Boulevard is one film that made a victim of the bargain bin. I don't like Colin Farrel (he is a good actor, I just don't like him) and I don't like Keira Knightley. I love Ray Winstone but his part in this is one he can do in his sleep. Same goes for David Thewlis and Anna Friel. The one who surprised me was Ben Chaplin. He was so good in it. Anyway the director is William Monahan who apparently wrote The Departed (more like adapted it from the original script). The film is not bad but a bit bland and the editing didn't suit whatever he was trying to say. I liked the ending (not a happy one) but all in all this one is not recommended unless you like the leads.
