Writer: Noel Clarke
Cast: Emma Roberts, Noel Clarke, Ophelia Lovibond, Tamsin Egerton, Shanika Warren-Markland
Genre: Crime, Thriller
We get thrown into a multistory, following each of our four female friends during three days that will stay with them for ever. In parts it works well, but not everything stays equally interesting, not every story manages to stay clear of overused cliches and there's some really annoying scenes that doesn't quite manage to fit the characters as he builds them.
Clarke doesn't quite get there, and some of his touches feels like a lot we've seen too often before, but at least it never gets boring. Add in some very nice cameos, and a good cast in general, and there's something to build upon for both directors and the actresses in question. That Emma Roberts felt oddly familiar throughout, and is almost enough of a reason to revisit Valentine's Day (as it's the only place I've seen her before as far as I know) and figure out how big her roles was there. Almost, as I'd rather watch Scott Pilgrim again rather than being tortured by another Ashton-butchered character in a movie I've already seen.
