When Syd learns that his ex-girlfriend London is leaving New York without telling him, he responds by impulsively crashing her going away party. Once there, rather than confront her, he holes up in th...( read more  read more... )e bathroom with a pile of cocaine and Bateman, an enigmatic Englishman he barely knows. As the two engage in a drug-fueled conversation that runs the gamut from entropy to S&M to the meaning of life, Syd struggles to work up the nerve to talk to London before it's too late.

    It's sensational entertainment. Riveting, sexy, electrifying and wildly funny. A cool soundtrack. Chris Evans is electric. Jason Statham is brilliant. They deliver terrific chemistry with their pure powerhouse perfromances. This is the type of film that puts you in these characte...( read more)rs shoes and makes you feel what their feeling. Well writen and directed. Evans hits you like you wouldnt belive. Statham is an absolute surprise. These two actors give unforgettable performances that show their stellar star capability. A fantastic movie.

    Psychological drama about a man, upon learning his ex-girlfriend is about to leave for California, decides to crash a party thrown in her honor. Most of the film takes place in the bathroom where these self absorbed pseudo-hipsters pontificate about nothing while snorting endles...( read more)s amounts of cocaine. Film has the questionable distinction of making an attractive and talented cast, so incredibly boring. Incidentally, Chris Evans, Jason Statham and Jessica Biel also worked together in Cellular, an infinitely better film.

    A very one dimensional film, aimed at the ?everybody?s been there? type of crowd. Hyped up with drug fuelled conversations about lost love, mainly filmed in a bathroom or in flashback to happier times.

    Very much an anti-climax of a film, which I found a little depressing.

    Didn't like anythin anybody said in this movie, except for a few short outbursts from Statham, who really deserves another platform to lift him out of the action hero typecast. Without sex, this movie fails.

    I think I might have "liked" this film more than I was supposed to. There are probably two reasons why: 1) my deep fascination with the modern notion of "relationships," of two people being together and then not being, and 2) Jason Statham, whom I think is one of the coolest fuck...( read more)ers on the face of this planet (his scene with Chris Evans' character on the balcony alone makes this film watchable). Having said that, Evans still annoys the shit out of me (although I can't rightfully say he's a bad actor) and Jessica Biel is insanely, supernaturally hot. Sorry, she is.

    OK movie overall with great Main cast especially Jessica that makes this movie a bit more cuz she's so beautiful ^_^

    Really made no sense.

    Amazingly good acting and directing. Authentic and believable characters, brilliant scenes and interesting compositions.

    Drugs, crazy dialogues and flashbacks. It's basically that. A guy who lost his 2-years girlfriend (and constantly loses his temper, because of the paranoia - and the coke, of course), trying to stop the suffering, which never seems to end, and finds himself going to the ex-girlfr...( read more)iend's going-away-party with his drug-dealer (called Bateman, yeah, Bateman). With the flashbacks we can see the reason of the breaking up and how they got there. It's fun to watch, to see the history going on and all the messy things happening there, though it's not that deep - I could say it's pretty much simple, even. Plus I don't know if I'm satisfied with the ending.. but yeah well, it's as melancholic as the movie itself.

Kyle Smith, New York Post

London has nothing to do with London. It has nothing to do with anything, except the same heavy-breathing preppy Walter Mitty fantasy that drove A Million Little Pieces. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

I have seen all of these actors on better days in better movies, and I may have a novena said for them. full review

    I heard a lot of bad review about this movie, so my expectations were really low, but I thought it was a great movie!
