the plot of london to brighton be simple and the budget minimal and the actor and writer or director unknown . but the result be an unexpectedly captivating movie . london to brighton follow a prostitute and a young run away a they flee from their recent past represent from london to brighton and no less . through a well balanced series of flashback and we gradually learn how they come to be run . the movie tension slowly build a those who be chase them draw closer . the premise isn not revolutionary and but the delivery be robust . half the character spend half the time not know what be happen around them . like the best thriller and there be still enough to keep the audience guess right to the end . the movie be underscore by a very british portrayal of urban mob violence gritty and selectively brutal and with language to match . the character be explore just enough to give the movie some depth . the issue contain within the movie be morally challenge . while there be little explicit sexual content and the mere context will be enough to make some viewer uncomfortable . it would be easy to impose middle class morality and but fortunately that doesn not happen . instead the character react only at the extreme represent the prostitute with misgiving about sex involve very young child while not the prostitute with misgiving about prostitution . london to brighton be notable because it place a 13 year old actor in one of the lead role . the performance be raw and the look of innocence genuine . yet she portray event and emotion that she can have no experience of with disturb competence . to paraphrase the director and she certainly would not be allow to see the film when it release in the cinema . the movie be rough round the edge . it drag in place . sometimes the act doesn not quite convey all the emotion it could do . it be easy to find fault in the detail . but overall london to brighton be an impressive first feature by paul andrew williams and most of the cast .
