London to Brighton is a cracking thriller directed by Paul Andrew. The films plot is about a prostitute her pimp and a young girl which gets involved in this dirty business after all. A rich customer of the pimp ask him to find a young girl in order to have sex with therefore, the pimp tells the prostitute Kelly (Lorraine Stanley) to find one. In a co incidence Kelly saw a little girl sitting on the top of the stairs in a tube station and talks to her. Little girl Joanne doesn’t know what she is about to witness and sadly agrees to go with Kelly since Kelly will feed her and supply her with cigarettes. The pimp sees young girl and finds her suitable for his customer however Kelly, doesn’t allow him to use Joanne in this way. The pimp is a contemptible slimeball, fearless of what he is doing, beats Kelly to get the young girl. Joanne arrives at the house of the rich man with Kelly not knowing what’s coming to her and as she enters the room her scream cerates goose bumps. Furthermore Kelly runs upstairs to save Joanne and stabs the man on his chest. At the end of the film the rich guys son point his gun towards Kelly and the young girl while the pimp is watching conversely, he shoots the pimp in a sudden second leaving me shocked and glad.

I liked this movie mostly because it was British. It made me feel as if I can also witness all of these situations in kings cross. I had goose bumps most of the time watching the film as it’s was a tragic thrilling story. Even though the film consists of semi professional actors, they managed to establish the theme and make me live the situation with Kelly and Joanne. The fact that even though Kelly is a prostitute, she looks after Joanne; feeds her gives her money and makes her has fun by going to the park etc. This indicates that she also has a heart like everybody else. Using a young child in a disturbing

Film such as this shows the uncomforting juxtaposition of purity and innocence with crime and prostitution. This film is a nail biting thriller which I can’t forget for a long time. The aesthetic qualities were imperative in order to emotionally attract me into the film. It was realistic in terms of acting and props and only continuity editing was in process which emphasised the naturalistic side of the movie. Because this situations can really happen or even does happen, my emotion gets worrying because it makes me think about people in the same dilemma.

Overall the film was a fantastic drama and thriller which is emotive. I think the director and the writer of the movies done a great job by establishing the theme and mood of the movies immediately in a tense approach.
