Regular film...
Surprisingly interesting
I will not lie one of the reasons i watched this movie is because of Eleanor Tomlinson, I was drown in her big beautiful green eyes, but then I discovered that the story is not too bad. A lot of interesting elements are there: the pace is correct, we have nice GoPro bicycle chases, murders, a traitor that nobody suspected, a spectacular hit and run, corruption, blackmail, cheating and multiple turnarounds. But the thing that is remarkable is the soundtrack, a lot of nice songs like "Hell on wheels" by Fu Manchu, "The Sleepless" by Red Snapper and the ending with "song to say goodbye" by Placebo. I recommend this movie to enjoy a nice British action thriller.
Cinnamon Street
Chris (Josh Whitehouse) is a London bicycle courier, not as flashy as
Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He witnesses and head cam films what appears to
be a politician (John Hannah) who has murdered his mistress. Okay,
don't get attached to Chris. His sister Danni (Eleanor Tomlinson)
eventually teams up with the father of the dead girl (John Lynch) and
Jake (Sam Keeley) a friend of Chris...which creates a girlfriend issue
for a brief comic scene, to investigate Chris' accidental death.
In this film we have amateurs, armed with bicycling and drinking skills
(neither one helped) going after a well connected politician with the
police helping him and paid professionals. Don't expect a lot of
bicycle nonsense or parkour stuff, it is not that kind of film. The
title and cover art is slightly misleading. A film you can watch,
enjoy, and most likely forget as they didn't bother with memorable
scenes.
