ReviewsVariety - Visually striking head-scratcher -- somewhere between BLADE RUNNER and V FOR VENDETTA in its noirish bits, Little White Lies - The spiralling plot lines slowly weave together with real dexterity, resulting in a payoff that's as unexpected as it is satisfying. A cracking sci-fi brainteaser., Time Out - FRANKLYN has conceptual boldness and visual imagination that set it apart from the pack., Empire - An admirably non-formulaic drama, which manages to reconcile the opposed British film traditions of contemporary, realistic, low-key character drama with eccentric, flamboyant, Gothic fantasy. It certainly marks out McMorrow as a talent to watch., Sunday Mirror - This bold and complex British fantasy-drama is an impressive debut for writerdirector Gerald McMorrow.
Additional InformationDirected by music video helmer Gerald McMorrow and taking its lead from tales of dystopian futures such as V FOR VENDETTA and 1984, FRANKLYN's narrative is split between two parallel worlds; contemporary London and the the fantastical Meanwhile City. The film weaves a complex, facinatinating tale in which the fates of four people, living in these seemingly disparate realities, collide. A renegade masked vigilante, a pious father in search of his son, a beautiful but disturbed young art student, and a man broken-hearted after being jilted at the alter; a single bullet will determine the destiny of all.<BR><BR><BR>Ryan Phillippe (THE FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS, WAY OF THE GUN), Eva Green (CASINO ROYALE, THE DREAMERS) and Sam Reilly (CONTROL, 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE) co-star in this nightmarish futuristic thriller.
