Tales of Babylon

I am such a huge lover of anything British and this film is just that! Definitely feels like a love letter to the city of London and all it's variety.

Didn't know britts loved chicken so much!

I have to take most of this review to talk about the little girl, because she was an absolute delight. In a different way but she reminded me a lot to Natalie Portman in Leon. Always talking back, not being afraid of anything. She seems like she'll be up there in years to come.

On the downside, they curse A LOT. Too much for me. I also felt like I could've done without some bits in the film, especially around the one hour mark, which drags on just a little bit when Mother Nature visits Alex at his drug house.

They boy who plays x also really grabbed my attention, he's charming in such an interesting way, I would love to see more of him if casting directors in the US are interested. He could for sure be in a Guy Richie film or two.

I had a blast. Just such a fun little film.

I went into this one with no expectations and I was pleasantly surprised. It is by no means a perfect film but it's much better than I expected. The writing is very good and the pacing is really quick, it doesn't feel like a 2 hour film at all.

I've just read on IMDb that the director was only 22 when he made this one and I feel like that makes it all the more impressive. I definitely don't expect this level of directing from a 22 year old. Again, it's by no means perfect but it shows a lot of promise. The scene in which mother nature walks into the drug lair is so impressive. Basically anything that Mother Nature was in really grabbed my attention. She was great but the camera really service her well. Some beautiful shots here and there.

Such an excellent script. The dialogue really stands out to me, it's so quick and witty. Maybe it's just me but I love those films that make supposedly serious things so funny. The professional was a personal favourite. Taking the mick out him the whole way through was my highlight. And him singing Driver's Licence was SOOOOO funny.

The actors overall were all super talented, the ensemble works really well together and they all have great chemistry, especially the little kid and X.

I must also say that I adored the love story between X and Y. It's not super on the nose but it's definitely there. Aaron Cobham and Ray Calleja definitely have great chemistry and they build the relationship between X and Y in a very lovely way.

Didn't think this movie would be that good considering some of the ratings here on IMDB, but I was pleasantly surprised.

The plot builds up slowly and you get to know some odd and interesting characters. It's not a lot of non-stop shooting and car chases like in American movies but more of slow-action I get the feeling that the director has looked at Pulp Fiction, The Liability and similar films and then arrived at this little gem.

Crowd funded, relatively unknown actors and a well-written plot impresses, so I can only recommend this film.

Will keep an eye on this director and look forward to the next film project!

Found this film on the deepest depths of amazon and was very impressed by the quality of it. IMDb says this was directed by a 22 year old through crowd funding and I've got to say that it does pretty well considering.

It's just really beautiful shot, like the colours are super interesting for a an action film. Very colourful ad light which I tend to enjoy.

It is by no means a perfect film but if you're into discovering new talent this is a great place to go. The actors are great, from the kid to Game of Thrones vet Clive Russell, who is just so menacing here. I feel like I've found a hidden gem, not only the movie itself but the creatives and the actors, who are all so young and unknown. I'll keep an eye out for them in the future because they might just surprise us.
