Film Review - 100 Streets
January 12, 2017
Dramatically, “100 Streets” offers nothing new. It’s a stern look at hopelessness in London, where lost souls struggle to find purpose in a grim world, working to redirect their misery into something constructive. It’s a multi-character piece, tonally similar to a Paul Haggis picture, layered with sympathy and coincidence. Screenwriter Leon Butler falls short on satisfaction, but he does manage to find a few interesting character corners, and director Jim O’Hanlon is wise to turn most of the effort over to the cast, who generate a compelling sense of frustration before the movie decides to use behavioral extremity to solve its substantial problems. “100 Streets” looks to detail the capacity of the human heart during its darkest trials, but it only connects periodically.
