The story of the Clash is a fascinating one, and spotlighting a kid inspired by, but not a part of, the punk milieu has plenty of potential. But "London Town" just never burns brightly enough. Nov 30, 2016 | Full Review…

As contrived as "London Town" is - with a derivative coming-of-age story and improbable, fateful encounters between a struggling teen and Clash frontman Joe Strummer - there is something here of the group's early, principled spirit. Oct 13, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

The movie's impersonal, conventional telling of a reasonably standard male coming-of-age story almost tends to make the punk milieu it depicts beside the point. Oct 7, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The raw vigor and protest of punk get co-opted by the movie's coming-of-age story; it's not the heartfelt sweetness that's the chief problem, but how run-of-the-mill and derivative the plot is. Oct 6, 2016 | Full Review…

The era's skinhead riots and striking workers - and Strummer's biting, pro-immigrant lyrics - are never more than window dressing in a movie that would rather scatter fairy dust than grit. Oct 6, 2016 | Full Review…

"London Town," to borrow from a certain foursome, isn't "burning with boredom," but neither is it exactly "calling." Oct 6, 2016 | Full Review…

Formulaic writing is lifted to a higher level by a talented ensemble plus real stand out performances from Huttlestone and Rhys Meyers - even if their scenes together are contrived. Mar 15, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

For all its flaws, the film's underlying sweetness makes it hard to dislike. Good, too, to see punk icon Joe Strummer - played with bolshie vim by Jonathan Rhys Meyers - as the story's unexpected fairy godfather. Apr 9, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's hard not to enjoy London Town for its mixture of bittersweet comedy-drama, excellent performances, and the use of several of the Clash's best songs of the era. A little bit of hokum in a rock & roll story isn't a bad thing at all. Nov 21, 2016 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
