DVD Synopsis

A party becomes a metaphor for the wasted lives of a handful of young hipsters in this edgy independent drama. Syd (Chris Evans) awakes from the latest in a long series of drug- and booze-fueled benders when he receiving a phone call from a friend informing him that London (Jessica Biel), who recently broke up with Syd, will be moving away from New York for California with her new boyfriend in a few days, and that a going-away party is being thrown for her that evening. Syd hasn't been invited to the bash, but he decides to attend anyway, and brings along Bateman (Jason Statham), a bartender who moonlights as a cocaine dealer. Bateman is carrying a large supply of nose candy, and after arriving at the party he and Syd install themselves in the bathroom, where they snort line after line while guzzling tequila and discussing philosophical matters regarding love, sex, and emotional pain. The private party-within-a-party is soon joined by Maya (Kelli Garner) and Mallory (Joy Bryant), who share cocaine and sympathy with the guys until Syd learns that London has arrived, and he decides it's time to confront her. London was the first feature film for writer and director Hunter Richards. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Wow... what a waste of 30 minutes of my life. I say that because I gave this movie 30 minutes to impress me and it failed miserably. I really didn't care about one single character in this waste of film.

The sad thing is, Jason Statham is one of my favorite British actors. He normally has a great sense of humor and is nice to look at, but for some reason that I have not been able to discover, someone told dear Jason it would be a good idea to hide the fact that he is losing his hair and painted a black toupée on his head. Why??? Bald is the new black! Bald is sexy! Jason Statham just looks WRONG with hair.

This now brings me to Chris Evans, the young hottie from Fantastic Four and Sunshine. What the hell did they do to this guy to make him so ugly? You see flashbacks of him with Jessica Biel where he is clean cut, ripped, pretty hot, and then we come to our present day shots where I just want to give him a bath! I can't feel sorry for a guy who whines about his girlfriend leaving him when he looks like a filthy drug addict who just rolled out of a dumpster.

This leaves only Jessica Biel. I really don't know what this chick was thinking when she took this part. I couldn't help but think of Drea de Matteo in the Sopranos as I watched Jessica on screen. She looked like a whore, talked like a whore... I mean, why were we supposed to care about her?

All around this was a trainwreck that wasn't even good enough to keep your eyes on.
