It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The movie start sad, and the first out of 4 stories is heartbreaking, so you are tempted to stop watching.However, let the stories unfold, and see how the girls get back on the bad guys, get out of the jam and show their talent in different areas.The tangled and often surprising revelations make it fun to watch when you are past the first story.Lessons learned, don't lock your sister up, don't trick a British bird, and do let the cashier girl get a break!And most of all, be there for each-other when it really matters.No deep movie, and it stereotype teenager daughter-father relationship and non-functional families. But still okay, it tell a story without the need for fancy computer animated action.

I'll first admit I missed the first few minutes of this movie. I'd popped out of the hotel room for a cigarette and by the time I returned, the missus was already into this movie showing on Channel 4.So on the minus side, I couldn't walk out on this atrocious mess of a movie. On the plus side, I didn't pay for it.In a nutshell, take Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Then, take out the colourful characters, the witty one-liners, the first-rate sound track, the quick moving yet coherent plot and replace it with a few neurotic screeching girls trying to act like.....well just trying to act.Hopefully when I submit this review I'll have gone over the minimum word count and avoid wasting any more time on this shockingly bad film that even my wife admitted was a complete waste of time.

4.3.2.1 seems to think it's a hip, fresh, non-linear Brit crime thriller, a work of originality and verve. After all, the man behind it is Noel Clarke, who in KIDULTHOOD and ADULTHOOD made a pair of decent and modern urban dramas. Sadly, everything about this movie is a huge mistake, and it ends up as an extraordinarily superficial copy of Tarantino's masterwork PULP FICTION.The major problems with this film are the story and script, which both go nowhere. The "leads" are a group of dim, twentysomething girls living in London, their stories told individually and linking up at various points. Sexual exploitation, robbery, lesbianism and family drama are some of the topics covered, but they're all handled in the most mundane and unengaging way imaginable.It doesn't help that the characters are puerile, obsessed with the shallow pursuit of pleasure and thus giving the viewer no reason to get behind them. There's an unwelcome whiff of exploitation to the proceedings with one character (Shanika Warren-Markland) forced to spend the majority of her screen time in her underwear.The performances are terrible, particularly from the ultra-grating Emma Roberts (an actress who only exists thanks to nepotism) and the aforementioned Warren-Markland, although CAMELOT's Tamsin Egerton isn't much better. The format is peppered with more seasoned actors like Sean Pertwee and Kevin Smith, but they also ring hollow thanks to the moronic dialogue they're handed out. 4.3.2.1 truly is a stupid and offensively crass piece of movie-making.

What a load of rubbish!The only possible plus points to this film could be sexy scenes and sexy dialogue because the themes in the film constantly come back to sex, lesbianism and people in their underwear - however, even that is certainly not a positive because those sex scenes, dialogue and lesbian kisses are presented/directed so badly that they are not sexy or interesting in the slightest! There was a total lack of sexiness just a lot of boredom.In addition the rest of the film is total crap: the plot is muddled beyond belief and appallingly weak, the dialogue is pathetic and inane, the acting is bad and the direction and film making skills are lacking in all departments. Noel Clarke should stick to acting in supporting roles. Sad.
