Even if the story never quite ties up all of its lose ends, at least it's a fascinating portrayal of the ethnic mix in most London neighbourhoods.April 07, 2017
It has good characters and strong performances, and I left the cinema hoping that I hadn't seen the last of Tommy Akhtar.April 09, 2017
A decent vehicle for Ahmed to show why he's considered one of Britain's most interesting young stars.April 07, 2017
Too often City of Tiny Lights is let down by an overeagerness to play up its source material, and hampered by unnecessarily showy direction and inadvisable attempts at gumshoe dialogue.April 09, 2017
It ticks off almost all the gumshoe-movie clichés: a chain-smoking, whiskey-slugging sleuth, an enigmatic femme fatale, neon-drenched streets and a tangled plot. It even has Venetian blinds.April 07, 2017
The jagged parts of this noir puzzle don't piece together to make a pleasing whole.September 15, 2016
Though pleasant enough to watch, there's something not fully realized about the final product here.April 07, 2017
Slickly paced by Travis -- despite a brief dead patch in the middle -- it's an entertaining, thought-provoking ride nonetheless, and one that maintains its sense of humour despite its seedy subject matter.April 09, 2017

Engrossing, even if it doesn't quite measure up to its promise.April 03, 2017
'The Big Sleep' with bruvs. Which isn't an entirely off-putting proposition.May 09, 2017
When City of Tiny Lights doesn't try too hard it's brilliant, it's the moments it strains itself to make a point that something is lost.
