English Summary:
London Boulevard is a 2010 British independent crime film released in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2010. It is based on Ken Bruen's novel of 2001 of the same name, with screenplay and direction by William Monahan,
The film opens with Harry Mitchel (Colin Farrell) (convicted of grievous bodily harm under never-explained circumstances) leaving prison. He is propositioned by his friend and former partner-in-crime, Billy Norton (Ben Chaplin), to live in a nice "acquired" apartment, but on condition he work for Billy's criminal boss. On his way to a "welcome back" party, Mitchel saves a woman, Penny (Ophelia Lovibond), from being mugged.
At the party, Billy propositions Mitchel again. Mitchel is told by Billy and their contact, Danny (Stephen Graham), that his sister, Briony (Anna Friel), is in the basement, and he "saves" her from being raped by a drug addict. Mitchel meets Penny for a drink elsewhere, and she offers him a job to help her friend, a reclusive famous "retired" young actress, Charlotte.
Mitchel goes to a train station to visit his friend Joe, a blind homeless Big Issue salesman and gives him a knife to protect himself. The next day, Mitchel meets Charlotte (Keira Knightley) and her friend, Jordan (David Thewlis). Charlotte is constantly hounded by the paparazzi perpetually stationed outside her home, taunting and photographing anyone who enters or leaves.
Hungarian Summary:
Mitchell alig hogy kiszabadul a börtönből, újabb botrányba keveredik. A baj okozója egy fiatal, visszavonultan élő filmsztár, akibe Mitchell első látásra beleszeret. Ezzel azonban a gond az, hogy nem ő az egyetlen, aki a lány kegyeire pályázik. Szempillantás alatt egy elvetemült gengszter lesz a férfi vetélytársa, aki minden áron meg akarja szerezni a nőt.
