Written by debut feature writer Leon Butler, describing multiple slightly overlapping stories within a small area of London (Battersea). Ex Rugby captain Idris Elba is separated from wife Gemma Arterton, starts maxing out on drugs. Ageing actor Ken Stott befriends Franz Drameh, who is anxious to escape gang life. Black Cab driver Charlie Creed-Miles and wife Kierston Wareing are trying to adopt.
We didn't think it was the best film in the world, for example, Idris getting into siege situation didn't seem particularly credible, but it was OK. In fact thinking about it, the Idris character has the least of the problems compared to the others. Also script suffers from lacking humour or warmth, but is well acted.
Green Door needs a good comedy!
