There are myriad bizarre moments.August 25, 2016
As it stands, the only thing London Fields has going for it is that it's messy and weird enough to hopefully provoke those who have never read Amis to consider trying him out.October 14, 2017
I have a feeling this movie only exists because of people doing [Johnny] Depp favors.September 18, 2015
Most scenes lack pace, are performed badly and are accompanied by a running commentary of action we can see for ourselves. It's car-crash film-making.September 14, 2016
London Fields overflows with interesting ideas but they are frequently buried under lurid fantasy sequences, blunt-edged satire and the sense that it is much more amused by its own wild daring than we are.September 14, 2016
This spiraling story of sex, murder, darts, premillennial dread and authorial anxiety becomes a veritable hash of garish, disassociated tableaux.September 14, 2016
Whatever director Matthew Cullen and writer Roberta Hanley have cooked up with this screen adaptation, it's nothing if not a debauched hodgepodge for the senses that dares you to abandon it at almost every turn.September 14, 2016
It's like a music video, cretinously portenteous, in the worst possible taste.September 14, 2016
Novelistic, rich and awfully silly.September 14, 2016
So comprehensively does the film fail to represent the labyrinthian literary wonders of Amis' book that it scarcely seems worthwhile to detail its universal shortcomings.September 22, 2015
Another misfire of a Martin Amis adaptation that features enough London criminal cliches to make Guy Ritchie blush.
