A group of five friends plan to get together to complete the Golden Mile – pub crawling twelve local pubs in a single night, a business that was left unfinished twenty years before. When they revisit their home town, they notice something weirdly ‘alien’ about the pubs and the populace. What follows is whether they can overcome all the obstacles and complete the Golden Mile by visiting all of the pubs including the last and final pub, ‘The World’s End’.

What’s Hot

  • This is a perfect finish to the ‘Blood and Cornetto Trilogy’ following ‘Shaun of the dead’ and ‘Hot Fuzz’ by the director Edgar Wright. If you liked any one or both of them, you have to watch this.
  • The writing by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, is witty and filled with humor. The lines give an interesting personality to each of the friends. The dialogues of Gary King are a blast.
  • The acting by the lead five are fitting. Simon Pegg as Gary King who doesn’t want to grow up and Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan and Paddy Considine as his gang of friends who have totally outgrown him, but still hang out together to complete the Golden mile are caricatures and real at the same time. Once they start visiting the pubs, their dialogues and their demeanor changing with the influence of alcohol is engaging to watch. Eddie Marsan deserves a special mention as the shy guy.
  • The action choreography needs a special mention, as it is done in a realistic way to portray a typical pub brawl, with the lead five getting more and more reckless under the influence of alcohol.

What’s Not

  • The pre-climax block where the five guys talk their way out of the impending disaster in store for our World, is too cheeky and propagandist and takes the seriousness out of the climax. What follows after that is not fitting and leaves you expecting for more.
  • This film is a little low on the jokes when compared to the previous two movies of the trilogy.

An hilarious entertainer for fans of madcap British comedies especially the ones made by Edgar Wright.
