Michael Ledo This is a tale of some loosely connected lives in London. Max Moore (Idris Elba) is a famous ex-rugby player and a player. He likes his coke and women. His wife Emily (Gemma Arterton) is having revenge sex with a photographer (Tom Cullen) and plans on getting back into acting through her old friend Terrance (Ken Stott) who also does community service. Terrance meets Kingsley (Franz Drameh) who has committed a misdemeanor and is preforming community service at a cemetery. Kingsley sells pot and is trapped in the streets. He wants out, but doesn't know how. At the cemetery we see George (Charlie Creed-Miles) a singing cabby and football coach. He wants to adopt children with his wife Kathy (Kierston Wareing) active in community service.The stories were somewhat interesting and I wished they had connected George better than what they did. They all came to some sort of closure, but I failed to see the point in all of it, other than we are all somehow connected, a theme of which I have grown bored .Guide: F-word, sex, nudity.

Anyanwu Right, so this is a sappy film. But, not cause of the acting in my opinion. Looks at the choices people make and how they deal with the realities that life presents them. The acting is good all around. Idris, Gemma, Franz Drameh and Ryan Gage put in good performances. Yes, it's stereotypical and predictable. The stories do not intersect are separate stories taking place at the same time. What throws it off and makes it sappy is the writing and the score/music. Seeing as Idriss Elba was the music supervisor this is kind of disappointing. I know his music chops are strong but the music made the whole film melodramatic. This is what gives it the syrupy feel. The screenplay is not interesting at all and presents characters in a particular light with little context. It's a good idea for a film, whose story structure has been done before. It lacks more the depth in writing to really draw you deep into the characters whose lives are on edge.

Sam T This is not a Hollywood blockbuster, but a very British take on life and human relationships so if you like that sort of thing then this is worth a watch. Three stories that barely touch on each other but manage to be complete. Emotional, raw, graphic and well acted. Everything I expect from a good British film.

bjarias ..the entire trailer for the film shows and sells it as if it's all Atherton and Elba and if that were the case then it would have been acceptable.. but in fact the movie is not all them (they're like one-third of it) and so it suffers.. for their story is limited and shortchanged, and the others that are in fact part of the film are not all that intriguing.. in fact they're pretty standard and boring.. they obviously wanted their names to draw attention, and with a bit more thought to the overall process (and having them involved as a larger part of the production) they could have wound up with a substantially better work... you're looking for them, and so you come away disappointed..
