    SOOOO FUNNY!

    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.

    Must watch!!!!!!!

    Incredible production with an amazing director and team working to create this legendary piece. Recommend to watch as soon as possible. Keeps you glued to your seat as it takes you on an incredible emotional rollercoaster.

    Uplifting movie with great funny scenes played out by the wonderful casts!! Great references which I will not go into detail so once you watch it you can enjoy them as much as I did. No spoilers in this review.

    As soon as Tales of Babylon is in your nearest cinema it is a must watch!!! Groucho Arts is the production company so it is without a doubt that you will enjoy it as well.

    Hidden gem

    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.

    Utterly watchable

    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!

    Very enjoyable Indie action

    I am very impressed by this film. Considering the low budget it was made on I find it really impressive the way the story is told and the characters constructed. Making action on a low budget is not an easy feat, but this film achieves it really well.

    Great performances all around and really enjoyable visual style. The production design is very pleasing.

    Don't go in trying to get Tarantino because the film simply doesn't have the funds for that. But if you love indie films and discovering new talent this flick is just right for you. Thoroughly enjoyable humour and action.

    I highly recommend it.
