4.3.2.1

I like Noel Clarke the writer and Co-Director of 4.3.2.1 and was so close to bagging his Autograph at last years frightfest but he was rushed into the film as everything was running late!

4.3.2.1 is the story of 4 girls over 3 days set in 2 cities with 1 chance of success. And for the most part this film was really good; I liked the girls all decent up and coming actresses in a film with attitude. Clarke seems to have added a bit more humour to this urban story over his previous films and some of the situations are quite funny. It’s concept of telling the story isn’t new but Clarke’s version works well, from a point near the start of the film, the 4 girls go their separate ways, and this split provides the starting point for 4 stories which interweave which each other brilliantly. Cassandra’s story was the best though, with a great cameo as well.

Clarke also has a part in the film and has come a long way since his days on Dr Who, but it’s the 4 girls who shine, Emma Roberts, Tamsin Egerton, Ophelia Lovibond and Shanika Warren-Markland. The script helps, a little clunky in places but overall sharp and witty.

The one thing which let it down were the over-long sex scenes, although well shot they did drag on!

The soundtrack is also pretty good.

Overall really good (8/10).
