Jeffrey P B @JohnnyTwoStep123 Jul 28, 2023 Not a fan of montage films. As is often the problem, the stories aren't connected other than via difficulties and tragedis, which could be said for thousands of lives out there. Rather bland film overall. See more Dave C @RT09838700 Aug 31, 2020 Enjoyed it for the most part, but the interwoven aspect to each of the characters' stories needed to be a lot tighter. Instead, it wore like a loosely knitted jumper See more Ola G @Ollie1972 Jul 14, 2019 Three people, three extraordinary stories. All lived out within a hundred London streets. Max (Idris Elba), a former rugby captain for Team England and celebrity struggles to keep his marriage together with his estranged wife, Emily (Gemma Arterton). The drug dealer Kingsley (Franz Drameh), who through a chance encounter with an aging actor Terence, finds inspiration to escape his life of petty crime and his disapproving mother. George (Charlie Creed-Miles) is a gentle cab driver looking for the chance to adopt a child and build a family with his long suffering wife, Kathy. How each man deals with his personal challenges reveals also how circumstance, accidental encounters and conscious decisions determine our fate... "100 Streets" is a clichéridden and slightly pretentious piece of film. We get some overacting at times, but I do like Gemma Arterton and Idris Elba, however they don´t manage to fully convice you here. The attempt to create a "Short Stories" with intertwining stories fails as the stories aren´t intriguing enough. And the ending is just not connecting the dots in a satisfying way. See more Mar 16, 2019 Excellent movie with terrific performance by Idris Elba. See more Nov 2, 2018 Love the sound tracks See more Jul 10, 2018 There is neither glamour nor drama in ordinary lives. It's why I watch movies, to escape the tedium of people like this with their ghastly, mundane issues. If I wanted to see people with everyday, boring problems, I'd look in a mirror. Decent cast though. See more Read all reviews
