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.

2/5

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

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

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.

2/5

Unfortunately, despite the strength of individual pieces, the whole is hardly worth the effort of the watch.

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.

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.

This movie started out strong, but once it landed to Los Angeles, the writers kept on ham-fisting American references every so often. A gamer goofball in an action movie with an insufferable father and the main character that is somewhat blind but still able to drive. There are CLEARLY two different movies here that got mashed together just for comedy sakes.

It's the weirdest of stories, with a few odd twists, some making sense, others just too extreme to be acceptable, but all in all the flick is quite some fun and rather entertaining in its quaint way. It's a ridiculous comedy with enough grip to let you stay on till the end. 6/10 points.

It's basically Role Models but with an Hitman instead of Energy Drink promoters/slackers. It even has kids meeting up to roleplay fantasy battles.

Thoroughly disappointing. A poor attempt at hybrid humour on an aged plot with insufficient energy to generate any real momentum. The scene changes were also interrupting any flow when it did begin to build up, and the subtlety in the humour lacked complexity.. it looked so promising but we only made it 30 minutes before members of my family started to leave the room.

Absolutely Hilarious from start to finish. A fast paced action comedy, where the gags unload faster than the bullets. The great thing about this movie, is that it has no intention of taking anything seriously . If you’re not careful you’ll probably miss the subtle gags, that seem to be in every line. That’s apart from the hilarious stunts and nut case characters. Ignore the critics. This is a gem. Dave
