Post Re: London Fields
I guessed early on that BBT was her killer, but I did not get why he killed her. I was somewhat involved up until the halfway mark but it lost me. Jim Sturgess is so damn annoying trying to be a British lout. It is too exaggerated and weird. And the lead, Amber Heard, has the body of a pinup but the likability of a gym rat. Plus she's outshone in the beauty department by Jaimie Alexander who has about 30 seconds of screen time. The music and score is one of those engrossing soundtracks where the film is lame but the CD sits proudly in your collection. The tone of the film was alright. There are some wacky bits (such as the televised darts match) but it is set in a future London on the verge of rebellion or destruction or something.

I saw it in the theater. Jim Sturgess is Razzie-worthy. Heard is hot though and the only watchable thing about it. It's pretty damn bad.
