action

The film 4.3.2.1 is about four friends who have three eventful days ahead of them. Cassandra, the daughter of very wealthy parents, flies to New York to finally meet her Internet friend in person. Despite the warning from her friends, she embarks on this journey. Arrived in New York, her friend Cool Brett did not appear at the meeting point as agreed. Dejected, she takes a taxi and goes shopping. When she arrives at the hotel, exhausted from the shopping trip, she is about to take a nap when there is a knock on the door. There she met Cool Brett, with whom she immediately had sexual intercourse. It turns out it's Cassandra's "First Time". When they are done, Cool Brett pours her champagne and Cassandra notices that Cool is acting differently than he met her on the Internet. But it's already too late to do anything about it, as Cool put a sleeping pill in her glass.

The next morning she wakes up to find that she has been robbed. Thereupon she looks up the address of Cool and meets a man there, whom she immediately overpowers and captivates. It turns out he was posing on the internet as a cool board he was teaming up with and stalking Cassandra for being madly in love with her. Now Cool Brett, unsuspecting, comes into the apartment and overpowers him and ties Cassandra. She notices that Cool took perverted photos of her. Thereupon Cassandra Cool rips off his clothes and also takes pictures of him like this. However, Cool is able to loosen the bonds and pounces on Cassandra. The other man can also tear himself away and bites Cool in the leg to help Cassandra, because he is madly in love with her. She can now escape Cool, but he runs after her. When Cassandra runs into a neighborhood of New York where many people of color live, a girl stands in the way Cool. Cool makes derogatory remarks about the color of her skin, causing a crowd of African Americans to show up and grab him.

Cassandra now has to go to Jago Larofsky to impress him with a piano prelude so that she can get a place at his school. She already had an appointment the day before, but due to the circumstances she was unable to keep it. Now she storms into his apartment at the piano and impresses Jago so much that she still gets a place at the school despite everything.

After these events she flies back to London.

In the meantime, her three friends have experienced very different, no less spectacular things because they were involved in a diamond heist, each with their own story.

The film ends when Kerrys, Joa and Cassandra save their friend Shannon, who is standing on a bridge and thinking about killing herself (due to the events of the last few days), because Shannon slips and suddenly wants to stay alive.

The four friends are now all going on vacation together, donated by Cassandra.

Reviews

"Good observational crime comedy with a good dose of humor and convincing actresses."

- Lexicon of international film

“In an excellent way, the girls are not victims and are always ready to fight. If only they weren't shown half-naked all the time, only to satisfy the curiosity of the male audience. "

- Time Out London

Empire awarded four out of five stars:

"A hot, funny, sexy thriller with strong actors and soul behind the shiny facade"

- Empire (magazine)

“This film jumps back and forth wildly and has a lot of energy, but nothing is convincing for a moment (...). Clarke incorporates some sultry sex and lesbian scenes, obviously targeting male DVD buyers. "

- The Guardian

" High- energy sexploitation from Great Britain that could win back a small part of the multiplex audience in the relentless onslaught of cynical Hollywood rubbish."

- The Times

“A touch of pulp fiction , a little more of Doug Liman's Go! and a lot of simple handicrafts, cameo appearances for famous people (...) and boastful posing without direction or destination. "

- The Daily Telegraph

  4. ↑ "This film whooshes wildly all over the place, and it's got plenty of energy, but nothing about it is convincing for a single moment, and the acting is on the torpid side. Clarke puts in a fair few steamy sex scenes, and some sapphic moments very obviously targeted at the male DVD buyers out there.

  6. ↑ "There's a touch of Pulp Fiction, a touch more of Doug Liman's Go, and a whole lot of facile craft, cameos for famous chums (Kevin Smith, Eve), and show-offy posturing without any direction or point." - Tim Robey in the Daily Telegraph June 3, 2010.
