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.

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.

The jagged parts of this noir puzzle don't piece together to make a pleasing whole.

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.

It has good characters and strong performances, and I left the cinema hoping that I hadn't seen the last of Tommy Akhtar.

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.

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.

A decent vehicle for Ahmed to show why he's considered one of Britain's most interesting young stars.

Those hungry for original British movies, especially ones that attempt to engage with multicultural London, may find their appetites whetted.

Engrossing, even if it doesn't quite measure up to its promise.

Though pleasant enough to watch, there's something not fully realized about the final product here.
