Short description

London Fields is a crime thriller set in London in 1999. Nicola Six, a clairvoyant woman, has a premonition that she will be murdered. She becomes involved with three very different men at the same time, knowing that one of them will be her killer. A struggling American writer, Samson Young, encounters Nicola along with a small-time criminal and darts player, Keith Talent, and a wealthy, bored banker, Guy Clinch. What Samson initially takes as material for a novel draws in the people around these men, including their wives and a successful author. The film is based on Martin Amis's novel of the same name, and Amis shares screenplay credit with Roberta Hanley.

Mathew Cullen directed the film, which was released in September 2018 and runs 118 minutes. It is a co-production between the United Kingdom and the United States, with a budget of 8 million dollars. The cast includes Billy Bob Thornton as Samson Young, Amber Heard as Nicola Six, Jim Sturgess as Keith Talent, Theo James as Guy Clinch, Johnny Depp as Chick Purchase, and Jason Isaacs as Mark Asprey, among 31 credited cast members.

Audience response has been weak. On IMDb the film holds a rating of 3.9 out of 10 from around 13,000 votes, and on TMDB it has a rating of 5.1 out of 10 from roughly 307 votes. A critics' rating of 2.7 out of 10 from 35 reviews places it below even the modest audience scores on both platforms, indicating a largely negative reception across the board.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Initially, Gemma Arterton was to play the role of Nicola Six, but she was later replaced by Amber Heard.
  • The film was shot in 2015, but its release was delayed due to legal issues. In 2016, the producers filed a lawsuit against Amber Heard, seeking $10 million for breach of contract and refusal to film nude scenes. In 2017, the actress filed a countersuit, claiming that the producers used a body double to create the impression that Heard had performed nude scenes in more scenes than stipulated in the contract.
