24 Hours in London (1999)
Director: Alexander Finbow
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A London gangsters movie in which Olsen does his hardman act as peroxided crime boss Christian Writer/director Finbow's attempt to fashion a thriller while simultaneously guying it has landed him with a stylistic mess. The plot has a spine of sorts. Caught in a gunplay between rival gangs, innocent Martha (Smith) is persuaded by cop Duggan (Benfield) to risk her life helping track Mr Big. But Finbow adds complication after complication until you end up not knowing who's who or what's what, and caring even less. On the plus side, he shows talent in comic set pieces and mounts an inventively OTT three-way shoot-out.Author: WH
