London Calling

What to Know

Critics Consensus

London Calling struggles to execute its promising premise, delivering a second-tier crime comedy where cheap laughs and tired tropes overshadow flashes of fun and character chemistry.

This underworld knockabout has its moments, but sharper writing could have lifted it way higher. Go to Full Review

Like its handsome anti-hero, this movie sometimes misfires, but it is easy on the eyes. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
Allan Ungar’s assassin turned subverted buddy-cop film takes a long time to get on its feet, and once it does, it still stumbles there. It’s a bit of a tropey mess, but the intent is clear: to have fun. Go to Full Review

Unfortunately, despite the strength of individual pieces, the whole is hardly worth the effort of the watch. Go to Full Review

2/5
Veteran assassin is forced to help a crime boss's son become a man—a hitman—in a series of wacky, action-filled setups. Fun premise, bad execution—pun intended. Go to Full Review

B
A solid followup from director Allan Ungar and star Josh Duhamel (2022’s Bandit), London Calling hilariously skews many tropes of old road/buddy movies, as a myopic hit man takes on a young acolyte. Great needle drops too, including the title track.
