A Hundred Streets Reviews
The mark of a brilliant actor is that he/she can give a compelling performance even in a film that doesn't shine.

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.
| Jan 12, 2017
It's six or so characters in search of a meaningful movie.
| 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.

Throughout the film's three interconnected stories, Jim O'Hanlon favors the blunt, maudlin manipulations of Crash.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 9, 2017
"A Hundred Streets" seems oddly unequal to the status of its charismatic name cast, headlined by Idris Elba and Gemma Arterton.

A solid cast can't save this soapy three-stranded London drama.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 13, 2016
Given the talent involved, 100 Streets can't help but seem disappointing.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 10, 2016
100 Streets stars Idris Elba and Gemma Arterton, leading one to hope that this drama set in a square mile of Battersea might be gripping. Instead the film feels like a slice of a soap opera, dredging up every London cliché.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 10, 2016
The film has some intriguing characters, subplots, situations. Frustratingly, though, the complete jigsaw doesn't fit together, hampered by plot implausibilities and unrealities.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 10, 2016
It's never entirely clear why its three unrelated stories are being told in the first place.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 10, 2016
None of the tales have meat enough to satisfy alone. Together, though, they form a varied backdrop to showcase some respectable character work.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 19, 2016
