London To Brighton (the movie)

[challengechappers]

anyone seen this, is it any good? does brighton feature much in it ?

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

It's not great from what I remember but, I was only half watching it.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

I enjoyed it.

Low budget, Brighton features a lot, but is shown very much from a seedy underbelly point of view.

London Prozzie rescues child from pimp gang. Violence in abundance, tart with a heart type deal.

Worth a watch but hardly Brighton Rock.

 

[scotjem]

Nasty and depressing.

Give me Genevieve any day.

Anyone old enough to remember the old black and white speeded-up film from the cab of a train - London to Brighton in 4 minutes

I thought I did, but I don't remember any child prostitution gangs in that.

London to Brighton.

very dark film!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

It is worth watching for sure.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

No, that's not the one. The one I remember was definitely black and white, definitely London to Brighton in 4 minutes and I'm pretty sure the train didn't stop (except at Brighton, obviously).

It's there on YouTube, if only I knew how to get it on here

I quite liked it, yeah it's not the happiest film in the world but not all good films are laugh a minute are they.

 

[Les Biehn]

I didn't rate it that highly. Had it's moments but never felt like a film to me.

Red Road was a British film that came out at the same time and that for me was better. Also pretty depressing but more subtle and filmic.

 

[csider]

Dark covers it well. Was ok, not a frst date film!!

I have this on "Super 8" somewhere up in my loft, it was a birthday present many moons ago

 

[Long Saulty Seagull]

very dark film!

Of course it was. There are quite a few tunnels to go through on the way down.

 

[Gwylan]

I've just seen this film (it seemed ideal after completing the London to Brighton ride) and was very impressed. There are a couple of holes in the plot but this was a really promising debut feature. Well worth watching ... but definitely not on a first date.

I've been racking my brains to think where that house is - the view from the door shows it opening on to a park but I can't think which one it could be.

 

[Muzzman]

Mona Lisa is better.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Mona Lisa is better.

Which isn't saying much imho

Movietastic Trivia - Georgia Groome, who plays the girl in London to Brighton, has the lead in Angus Thongs, which is set in Eastbourne (and filmed around both Brighton and Eastbourne).

 

[Gwylan]

Mona Lisa is better.

But Mona Lisa had a decent budget and some big name actors in it (and Lester Freamon from The Wire). London to Brighton was made for £80,000 and displays more verve and style than dozens of big-budget films.
