London Boulevard

“Not every criminal wants to be one.”

Harry Mitchel (Colin Farrell) walks out of prison and into London with no plan beyond staying clean, but the old crowd keeps finding him. A job guarding Charlotte (Keira Knightley), a film star who hides from the press behind her gates, pulls him toward her just as the gangster Billy Norton (Ben Chaplin) starts leaning on him. William Monahan sets the two pulls against each other, and Harry cannot keep hold of both.
