Reception
Critical reception for the film has been mixed. Many critics praised the chemistry between Josh Duhamel and Jeremy Ray Taylor, and highlighted the film's emotional depth and heart, while others criticized its use of tropes. [8] [9] Courtney Small from Exclaim! stated "Ungar and his star prove once again to be a dynamic director-and-actor paring. Duhamel is delightful as the curmudgeon hitman with a heart of gold." [10] Critic Sean Tajipour gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, calling it "Fast-paced, funny, and surprisingly full of emotion. Duhamel gives one of his most charismatic performances in years and Ungar continues to prove he knows how to deliver movies that are both stylish and highly entertaining." [11] The Action Elite also gave the film 4 out of 5 stars and hailed it as "one of the best action comedies of the year", while Movie Scene wrote that "Josh Duhamel and Jeremy Ray Taylor shine from start to finish. London Calling not only delivers a wildly entertaining film on all fronts, but an emotionally resonant experience.” [12] [13]
Peyton Robinson from RogerEbert.com was less enthusiastic and gave the film a negative review, but stated that while "the film stumbles, the intent is clear: to have fun." [14] In a review from The Guardian, Phil Hoad lauded the film as a "Tarantino-esque caper" which has good moments, but would have fared better with stronger writing. [15]
On Rotten Tomatoes, 50% of 28 critics gave the film a positive review with an audience score of 75%. [16]
