Let me introduce writer/director Hunter Richards to you. Is he well-known? No. Should he be? Definitely. What for? London! Unknown too? It shouldn’t be.
Addressing mostly Hollywood lovers, London focuses on three characters portrayed by two actors and one actress who are known to be action heroes and some of the hottest women alive, respectively. Chris Evans, Jason Statham, and Jessica Biel have been fully humanised, “made redundant” to people next door, and deal with everyday issues that you and I are troubled with. There are no heroes or celebrities here.
London takes place profusely in a house party’s toilet where:
- Evans and Statham camp there as they are not welcome.
- Expensive paintings are used as a flat surface for everyone to snort cocaine constantly.
- Politics, religion, history, sociology, philosophy, drugs, the human psyche, sadomasochism, and relationship issues are elaborated.
- Finally, while the aforementioned happens, everyone comes in and out to meet their needs.
Statham and Evans steal the show. They look at each other in the eye, are not afraid to go berserk, and their characters find mental and spiritual/psychological ablution. This is a brilliant cinematic reflection on how real-life introspection can be turned into a liberating life unfolding.
