Mile End (2016)

What a waste of my time!!!

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Mile End is a atmospheric film. Shot with craft. Edited in a way you don't notice the editing; good. The characters feel very real and familiar. I cared what happens to the them, which is typical of good storytelling. I recognised the ego of Paul, the main character, in myself. This made we feel embarrassed and uncomfortable as I saw how Paul treats others around him. His fragile confidence and reluctance to accept help are very human qualities. I couldn't help but feel involved in the story; partly due to local setting. The other the frustrations of Kate. After the film finished, I was left with many questions and points of discussion. Very much a good thing.

I loved this film - a gripping story, beautifully told. There are some stunning scenes of London and some incredibly poignant moments amid the thrill and horror. It's so lovely to see east London shot with such love and care.I love the way it leaves some shades of ambiguity and questions that stay with you long after you've watched it. The acting is great, particularly the sinister but somehow still sympathetic runner.Love it, can't wait to watch it again. Highly recommended!

It's a while since I've been genuinely startled during a film - but this gripping thriller did just that. The two lead characters are beautifully drawn, and I found the development of their relationship engrossing. The complex and sinister story line keeps you engaged and guessing well beyond the end of the film. We were still discussing various plot conundrums long after we arrived home. Beautifully shot in East London, this independent film was made on a shoe-string budget, but looks like a million dollars! I'm not surprised it was nominated for Best Feature at the Raindance Film Festival. Highly recommended.

This is a great film. It's such a pleasure to see a film where all the elements come together as perfectly as they do in Mile End. Great casting – I enjoyed the contrast between the leads: one of them so self-contained and desperate to break out of the limiting and mundane nine to five world he finds himself trapped within; and the other so open and genial on the surface but ultimately looking for a 'friend' to drag into his murky, dark and dangerous world. Arnold particularly gave a convincing and expertly controlled performance as the troubled and damaged John. The clever writing created a totally plausible relationship between the two of them and the tension built steadily throughout keeping me gripped to the end. I loved the photography and those big London vistas - good to see the East end for a change. And I only jumped out of my seat once! Would definitely recommend this.
