Not a fan of montage films. As is often the problem, the stories aren't connected other than via difficulties and tragedis, which could be said for thousands of lives out there. Rather bland film overall.

To be honest, having seen the scores, I was not expecting much. The acting was good, the individual stories were good enough (in the sense that each showed development and reasonable logic/sense). The fact that the intertwining did not really happen much does not take away from each individual component. It's not a film I would watch again this year, but a couple down the line, I might consider it. It was not a waste of time, I liked it!

Enjoyed it for the most part, but the interwoven aspect to each of the characters' stories needed to be a lot tighter. Instead, it wore like a loosely knitted jumper

Three people, three extraordinary stories. All lived out within a hundred London streets. Max (Idris Elba), a former rugby captain for Team England and celebrity struggles to keep his marriage together with his estranged wife, Emily (Gemma Arterton). The drug dealer Kingsley (Franz Drameh), who through a chance encounter with an aging actor Terence, finds inspiration to escape his life of petty crime and his disapproving mother. George (Charlie Creed-Miles) is a gentle cab driver looking for the chance to adopt a child and build a family with his long suffering wife, Kathy. How each man deals with his personal challenges reveals also how circumstance, accidental encounters and conscious decisions determine our fate... "100 Streets" is a clichéridden and slightly pretentious piece of film. We get some overacting at times, but I do like Gemma Arterton and Idris Elba, however they don´t manage to fully convice you here. The attempt to create a "Short Stories" with intertwining stories fails as the stories aren´t intriguing enough. And the ending is just not connecting the dots in a satisfying way.

Excellent movie with terrific performance by Idris Elba.

Love the sound tracks

There is neither glamour nor drama in ordinary lives. It's why I watch movies, to escape the tedium of people like this with their ghastly, mundane issues. If I wanted to see people with everyday, boring problems, I'd look in a mirror. Decent cast though.

Had to turn on the closed captioning to understand the movie in some parts. To compensate, they should have turned the volume higher for the conversations. While the movie does have tons of potential, it didn't blossom the way I had hoped. Elba's performance was noteworthy, but felt forced at times. Altogether, it had a good message and for that I'd consider it an average movie. It's worth a watch.

Good acting couldn't save this bland drama from turning into a complete mess. 100 Streets or A Hundred Streets boasts a decent cast but fails to showcase their talent amidst the chaos of poor writing and painstaking pace.

This British urban triptych parable does not reinvent the wheel when it comes to the genre. It doesn't even offer a practical alternative. The name Idris Elba is enough to pull in a wider audience however I have to agree with other writers about this film - the actors feel misplaced in this small scale, 온라인카지노추천 worthy script - the writing is simply far too weak to pull it to 'cinema' heights. It really does feel like something more worthy of a soap and I feel that Butler is perhaps a fan of Eastenders and Coronation Street. It is therefore surprising that the script was able to garner the attention of some of the UK's bigger stars and that is the only place that this film really shines. Elba is true to form and Arterton is a pleasure to watch but the material is so cliched there were points where I genuinely cringed and the narrative, although complex (to an extent) is so full of holes you could easily fall into one. It feels cheap and messy and overall left me feeling deflated and bored.

Sad movie Good acting I enjoyed

Very good story. Very enjoyable film.

Excellently paced with a quality cast.

The episodic social drama style has been done before, and I'm sure in London already. If some of the stories were a little more interesting then this might not have mattered.

Vary bad movie, I wish I didn't see it.

Stor fan av filmer hvor menneskers veier møtes på et eller annet vis. Kjempefin.

All he at to do was look like he was scoring a Try, and he couldn't even get that right....

Ummm, nice try, but no. Rented this last night and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited..................... for something to come together and make sense and make me glad I watched it. When it was over, I threw my home made popcorn at the 온라인카지노추천. I was irritated beyond. The cast was phenomenal, but the story, not so much at all. Sorry. Good attempt though.

100 Streets doet opzicht niet veel fout als een simpele karakterstudie van 6 verschillende mensen in Londen die iets met elkaar gemeen hebben, het is juist het grote probleem dat niks wat er gebeurt niet eerder al eens verteld is in een film en tegen het einde juist meer ludicrous aanvoelt dan effectief.

Critics maybe correctly indifferent on sophistication of the plot, but this is entertaining, accessible and more real-London than other cliched "London" productions. Excellent cast, engaging soundtrack and refreshing escape from cgi magic, gruesome murders and over complex twists
