A Hundred Streets Reviews
100 Streets has passion and is well-meaning, but the film's plot often misfires and leaves a sense of emptiness in its wake.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 14, 2018
Acting and writing are a little uneven, and the three strands sometimes feel contrived, but there's a strong central theme about the mess that people make of their lives and the mess that life can make of people.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 18, 2017
100 Streets doesn't redefine the genre, but it's an all around solid film that's worth checking out.
| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Sep 5, 2017
Director Jim O'Hanlon gives the well-chosen locations an impressive sheen, but Leon F Butler's contrived script soaks everyone in soap.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 9, 2017
The mark of a brilliant actor is that he/she can give a compelling performance even in a film that doesn't shine.

Unfortunately, 100 Streets' parts are greater than the whole, forcing it to crash and burn after an absolutely ludicrous third act.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Jan 13, 2017
Can we speak of an "art-house programmer" in 2017 and not be entirely dismissive about it? Something that looks good, moves well across a large screen, rather than coming to your awareness as a "Recommended For You" icon?

Reader, I despise this movie.

Despite a few powerful moments, any meaningful emotional resonance is severely compromised by the film's emphasis on eye-rolling contrivances and heavy-handed melodrama.
| Jan 13, 2017
Jim O'Hanlon's drama offers forgettable performances and mediocre BBC One-level melodrama.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Jan 13, 2017
Soapy but affecting.

Elba oozes charisma and intelligent physicality even when on his knees snorting a line of coke ...
| Jan 12, 2017
It's a portrait of similar struggles existing in proximity of time and place; of individual battles being fought side by side yet alone.

It's six or so characters in search of a meaningful movie.

"100 Streets" looks to detail the capacity of the human heart during its darkest trials, but it only connects periodically.
| Original Score: C | Jan 12, 2017
This is isn't an earth-shaking new drama, but there's enough here to keep a sympathetic Anglophile interested in a modern story about love, loss and redemption all the way across the pond.
| Original Score: B | Jan 12, 2017
The actors are fine, but the material doesn't give their talents much room to stretch.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 12, 2017
Though there's clearly a compassionate impulse behind Leon F. Butler's class-conscious screenplay, it rapidly devolves into implausible melodrama.
| Jan 12, 2017
100 Streets doesn't fully develop one story; three threaten to float off the screen from weightlessness.
| Original Score: 4.2/10 | Jan 11, 2017
An appealing ensemble makes the most of this rote melodrama charting the occasionally intersecting lives of several South Londoners.
