Having not even seen 4-3-2-1, why oh why, do I read your review and ruin it all with a spoiler? In this case, a cameo by Kevin Smith! What next Empire?? Please, bare in mind your readers like to be surprised.

He's in the trailer. He's also the best thing in this movie.

Besides. Haven't you learnt by now? Do not read Empire reviews until after you have seen the film. Especially if you don't like spoilers.

I may go see this having recently seen Kidulthood and Adulthood.

As for Empire reviews, I never bother with them. They seem to talk about the film during the opening and closing paragraphs, then feel the need to discuss the actors personal issues during the rest of the review. I'll let IMDB and its many reviewers recommend films to me!

Preferring IMDB over Empire? You hear that sound? That's all the reviewers on EO committing suicide.

One of the worst films of the year - 18/10/2010 3:56:59 PM

I can't believe this movie was given 4 stars. Please try to be even a little bit objective when reviewing. You only gave it 4 stars because it's British. Movie has no redeeming qualities. Not funny. Not sexy. Not a thriller. A total waste of time.

Saw this recently. It started of well but was let down by a weak script and poor characters.

The acting was ok in this. The stand out performances being Michelle Ryan (very good in a small part), Alexander Siddig (another small part), Shanika Warren-Markland and Ophelia Lovibond. The rest of the characters weren't really fleshed out enough IMO.

The film was also let down by a weak script. The four main characters were so cliched, so we had the sassy black girl, the depressed soulful artistic girl with a cr*ppy home life and the spoilt rich glamourous blond girl.

It doesn't help that the story is told from four different points of view, flashing back and fourth in time. So in the end I found it slightly confusing. Most of the stories weren't really that interesting.

The film was so self concious in trying to depict youth culture. It definitely felt like Noel Clarke was trying too hard with this.

This started of well enough but gradually went downhill after the first half hour. I would only recommend watching this on tv. Don't waste your money.

I watched half of this film last night and it was so bad I turned it off. How this esteemed magazine could give this film 4 stars is beyond incomprehensible. I do have a feeling though that it is down to the magazine itself making a brief appearance in the film. Empire you should be ashamed!! Everything about this film is terrible and a complete waste of time and money.
