MOVIE REVIEW: 4.3.2.1

'4.3.2.1 ' is directed by the BAFTA winning actor,director and writer, Noel Clarke. The film stars a mix of British and American actors and actresses such as Noel Clarke, Bashy, Shanika Warren-Markland (Adulthood), Adam Deacon (Kidulthood/Adulthood), Tamsin Egerton (St Trinians), Michelle Ryan (Eastenders), and a cameo appearance from US rapper, Eve.
 
After watching the trailer, I was intrigued to find out how good 4.3.2.1 actually was - the trailer shows that the film had a much bigger budget than Noel's previous films (which is great) - so I had hopes of enjoying the film.

However, after watching the film (and still till this day) I still don't know whether I like the film or not!

The film focuses on a group of friends, Cassandra (Tasmin Egerton), Kerrys (Shanika Warren-Markland), Shannon (Ophelia Lovibond) and Joanne (Emma Roberts). Each of their lives are turned upside down because of a diamond. This diamond was dropped by Dillon (played by Adam Deacon) after he bumps into the four girls whilst being chased in Westfield shopping centre. The diamond was stolen during a massive heist. This is the beginning of the storyline.

The missing diamond acts as a disruption to the equilibrium of each of the girls lives. Over three days in two cities, a series of linked events happen in the lives of the four girls. They only have one chance to restore the equilibrium in their lives. This is basically the plot of the whole film.

Noel Clarke plays the character of Tee, a dodgy supermarket supervisor who is involved in the diamond heist. He is also Joanne's boss and an associate of Kerrys' half brother, who is friends with Dillon. (I'm sure you can see the connection building......)


The storyline of the film is not amazing, but it is interesting in certain parts. At the beginning of the film you can become slightly confused as to what is happening. This is because the disruption in each of the four main characters lives are told as a separate story - think four different short films based on each of the girls, which connect with each other. But things soon fall into place once you realise what Noel is trying to achieve, however some of the editing in the film doesn't help! Also there is a small lack of realism in the film, which can throw viewers off the film totally.

I believe the lack of realism and the sense of confusion I felt watching the film has made me unsure as to whether I like it or not, but on the other hand it is a good effort on Noel's behalf as it's presentation is a lot better than his previous films.
All in all, 4.3.2.1 is full of over-exaggerated action, villains, oestrogen, a poorly executed storyline, but with a polished production and a good cast, which you'll either love or hate.


4.3.2.1 is out in cinemas June 2nd

The announcement of the pregnancy and their wedding, which is due to take place this summer, was made after the couple attended the Black Ball in London, which Alicia hosts yearly.

NEWS: Cheryl Cole Finally Files For Divorce Against Ashley Cole

In an exclusive report, The Sun claims that Cheryl Cole has officially launched a divorce action at London's High Court, citing "unreasonable behaviour" for the divorce.

A source said: "Cheryl made a swift decision to put England's World Cup dreams ahead of herself. The divorce should be finalised before England's first touch of the ball in South Africa on June 12. She knows how vital it is for Ashley to have a completely clear head and concentrate entirely on his football and performance, with no distractions or emotional pulls.

"She wants a completely clean break with no malice or wrangling over property or money. Cheryl will not take one penny of Ashley's money."

It's likely that the pair will be granted a quick divorce seeing as Cheryl has no intentions of wanting any money from Ashley.


We wonder how Ashley will cope with the divorce during the World Cup?

Kay Burley: One Bad A** Chick

Yup you guessed it, the Murdoch ho, otherwise known as Sky News' Kay Burley is the talk of the town again for her somewhat 'aggresive' interviewing techniques.

The broadcaster was talking to campaign director David Babbs, who took part in a protest in London yesterday lobbying in for reform of the current voting system, first past the post.

After constantly interrupting the 38 Degrees campaigner, Burley said bluntly, 'Your views are not going to sway the people that are talking to behind closed doors ... You may as well go home and watch it on Sky News', ouch!

Despite a rampant Burley, Babbs was praised for the way in which he handled the interview and continued to try and get his point across, TRY being the key word here.

After reducing Peter Andre to tears live on air it seems like viewers have had enough of the Burley antics and took to Twitter to vent with 'Sack Kay Burley' quickly becoming the trending topic.

Too harsh or all in the name of journalism?
