    Сast and Crew

    Plot

    Journalism major Matt Buckner (Elijah Wood) is expelled from Harvard University after cocaine is discovered in his room. Though it belongs to his roommate Jeremy, Matt is afraid to speak up because Jeremy comes from a powerful family, and is offered $10,000 for taking the blame. Matt accepts the money and uses it to visit his sister Shannon (Claire Forlani), her husband Steve (Marc Warren) and their son Ben in London.

    You don’t run, not when you’re with us. You stand your ground and fight.

    It’s not about who you are, it’s about who you’re with.

    You gotta do what you gotta do.

    Once you’re in, you’re in.

    You find out who your friends are when the shit hits the fan.

    There is an English spirit here, it smells like England. The first film with Charlie Hunnam that I watched and fell in love with him. Then, however, I forgot about him, but after rumors that he would play in Fifty Shades of Gray, I remembered and fell in love again. And the film is interesting.

    Elijah Wood in this film is like a Pekingese: you don’t expect him to, but he grabs and bites off his hand. The whole film was waiting for a meeting between West Ham fans and Manchester United fans from the Eurotour. That would be great
