I am a keen Martin Amis fan, I adore his work, and have read London Fields a few times.
The film is simply appalling, it is dreadful, unmitigated garbage. The film director can’t have read the novel properly. Samson Young, the narrator his heavily tattooed, so incongruous for an author of contemporary fiction, may be an ex con, but not a serious writer. Keith Talent’s role in the film is hideously over acted.
The film doesn’t do Martin Amis any justice at all. Absolute rubbish.
