Its tautness is satisfying. Not one line of dialogue is superfluous, not one take is a second too long.

From the near-hysteria of this compelling opening sequence, Paul Andrew Williams's taut, tough and thoroughly satisfying drama grips the viewer and never lets go until its brutal, surprising conclusion.
Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail
Rotten
A gritty British gangster film that leaves a bitter aftertaste, Paul Andrew Williams' London to Brighton is as technically assured as it is ultimately superfluous.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh
The film is a calling card for its sure-handed rookie director, Paul Andrew Williams, who expertly turns up the suspense knob while establishing a thick sense of doom amid grimy settings.
Kyle Smith, New York Post

Very good but very grim, Paul Andrew Williams' punishing debut doesn't pull many punches -- although the characters certainly field their share of body blows.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
