London Boulevard

I honestly don't know what to say about this film, other than pointing out the fact that it is British, so that should give you a general idea of where I stand ;)

There were a few really fabulous scenes in this movie, and some stunning shots, but overall with the thick accents I couldn't understand what the characters were saying half the time!  Plot was familiar yet intriguingly twisted and the supporting case was solid.  You might argue that it was the fragile beauty of Keira Knightley or the aggressive yet sensitive Colin Farrell that was distracting, but I say no, no I think it was the garbley-accented dialogue.

Overall, probably the same issue that I had with Snatch - what otherwise would have been a perfectly enjoyable movie ruined by my inability to comprehend thick accents of the UK.  Don't hold it against me, or the movie, but you have been fairly warned that turning english subtitles on may be beneficial...
