100 Streets

The mark of a brilliant actor is that he/she can give a compelling performance even in a film that doesn't shine.

Elba oozes charisma and intelligent physicality even when on his knees snorting a line of coke ...

It's a portrait of similar struggles existing in proximity of time and place; of individual battles being fought side by side yet alone.

100 Streets has passion and is well-meaning, but the film's plot often misfires and leaves a sense of emptiness in its wake.
