That's right. I watched this movie because of its' soundtrack. The cyrstal method is heavily on and produced the soundtrack and as i love them I assumed they wouldn't score a pile of crap movie....and they didn't...entirely.
This movie DOES take place mostly in a bathroom, there ARE mountains of coke, they ARE people we don't care all that much about...BUT
There is some interesting dialogue....actually to be fair there is mostly dialogue..
So if you like to listen to people you don't like or care about talk for long periods of time this movie is for you....sounds like i hated it huh? There was something about it though that made me NOT hate it (aside from the music)..although I don't quite love it...and it's most definitely NOT everyone's cup of tea, java, or whathave you...BUT if you like something different in a movie this gives you that...not to say it's groundbreakingly original or anything but you've really got to see it for yourself and judge it foryourself as to if it's something you would like....
SO...
I recommend for people want to watch something that isn't cookie cutter material while at the same time isn't something groundbreaking or amazingly different; anyone who likes to listen or watch people talk; and anyone who likes to see copious amounts of drugs on display
I don't recommend it for people who already know they are going to hate it, people who love only action films, people who live on a moral plateua where they stand and judge everyone else, and circus midgets...j/k...and people who get bored easily...there we go
:D

Jason Statham is very good in a very different role for him. Jessica Biel is HOT, but she's not really a big player in this movie. Her character is important, but doesn't get as much screen time as one would expect. Chris Evans was just as mediocre as ever, he might as well have been the Human Torch from Fantastic Four. Movie itself has a great story, just very week execution.

I was with the two who actually really, really enjoyed this movie. After reading some reviews, I'm just convinced it takes a certain type to "get it." It's either going to strike you as very "ugly" or very honest. Look, it's got excessive drug usage, talks on god and religion, and dysfunctional relationships. It doesn't have a nice ending, but it certainly doesn't leave you feeling like...how you felt after watching "Requiem for a Dream" (yikes, right?). I bought it, and I show it to a certain crowd with good results, you should be able to get the feel if this sort of dialog is something you'd enjoy Oh, and the beginning sex scene is super hot ¬_¬

First time writer and director Hunter Richards delivers a perfectly awful and indulgent low budget tale of an unlikable NYC drughead named Syd (rising young actor Chris Evans) drowning in self pity over the breakup of from his superhot girlfriend London (Jessica Biel) of the title - alas, not the city - and plotting to win her back at her going away party, but only after doing massive amounts of coke and booze with slickly menacing new pal Bateman (Jason Statham, in a largely non-action role) in the party penthouse's palatial bathroom first. Richards' laughable script comes across as an 8th grader's attempt to sound like a college junior's idea of a complex relationship movie, with the party scenes cutting to insufferable flashbacks of Syd and London's druggy sex 'n' scream filled past. As bad as those are, they're still preferable to the bloody wretched extended philosophical discussion between Syd and Bateman during their overly long bathroom coke binge. Slick photography and cool sets can't hide the director's glaring inexperience. At least the actors do what they can with their parts; Evans displays a range and vulnerability missing in his other roles; Biel looks lovely and has real spark; Statham's charisma and comic touch carry him through the worst of the script (even as his shiny brown toupee seriously lets him down); and Dane Cook has an amusing cameo as a party guest. No matter how hard they all work, the amateurish material still undermines them. Of interest only to fans of the talented cast, LONDON the movie deserves a very special place a the bottom of the Thames River in London - the city.

This movie was just awful. Just a lot of screaming, yelling and very bad acting. What a waste of time and money for everyone involved (including the viewers).
