London to Brighton (2006)
Country: GB
Technical: col/scope 85m
Director: Paul Andrew Williams
Cast: Lorraine Stanley, Johnny Harris, Sam Spruell, Alexander Morton, Georgia Groome
Synopsis:
A prostitute and a would-be paedophile victim are on the run from London, the former prepared to do anything to redeem the safety of her charge. In pursuit come her pimp and the gangsters out to avenge a trick turned sour.
Review:
Intriguingly edited, with flashbacks to the traumatic incident interspersed throughout the film, this tense drama mingles Loachian realism (without the humour) and Brit-gangster menace with a topical tale of child exploitation. Chillingly believable thanks to its astute casting of unknowns and prosaic plotting, the film deploys unattractively grainy and close-up widescreen cinematography alongside the most unsavoury locations you are ever likely to see in London or Brighton.
