In New York, the drug-addicted Syd is consumed by drink and drugs – missing his girlfriend London (what the hell is that for kind of name for a girl, really…), who broke up with him six months ago after a two-year relationship. When Syd finds that London’s friends throw a going away party for her, he decides to go to the party without an invitation. But first he meets the banker and drug-dealer, Bateman (not the psychopath. Statham plays this role), in a bar to buy coke, and he invites his new acquaintance to go to the party with him. While locked in the bathroom with Bateman snorting coke and drinking booze, Syd recalls moments of his relationship with London, inclusive that he had never said “I love you” to his girlfriend despite her countless requests. Bateman also “open his heart” under the influence of cocaine and tells his impotence problem to Syd; in the end he convinces Syd to talk to London.

So, a whirl of flashbacks and a bit Jessica Biel (playing London) half-nudeness, with a Statham with hair on his head for once and not whupping ass like a manial (well, some in the end but that isn’t much) and a lot of drugs you’re in for a drama. A drama. Yes, Magnus, I’m talking to you. You may actually appreciate this movie (even though Hugh Grant isn’t appearing anywhere). Oh yeah, and Dane Cook has a minor role too. That’s kinda funny.

London was kind of boring I’d say if it weren’t for the drugs and how nicely they did the cutting from present time to past time and back again. The only reason I wanted to see this was because Statham was starring in it. And I must say I was a bit disappointed. But for you drama-loving, coke-snorting nuts out there you might find something of value. I don’t know.
