Leon Anavi I enjoyed the movies when I saw it on cinema six years ago. I enjoyed it even more a month ago when I watched it again. "Mission London" is a masterpiece but there are a couple of issues: you will not understand it if you are NOT living in Bulgaria and you will NOT like it if you are working for governmental organization in Bulgaria or another county in Eastern Europe. Clearly the movie is not for everyone but if you fulfill the requirements above you will have a lot of fun.The plot is very good and the actors are well known in Bulgaria. There are a lot of hilarious moments and memorable funny quotes.

valiaka This movie was recommended to me by a Bulgarian friend who proudly described it as a world class motion picture. It was supposed to be a comedy, but after watching it I was no longer sure what the genre was. It had only a few funny scenes a person who was not brought up in communist Bulgaria would find funny. I seriously doubt the story would reach an audience outside of Bulgaria. Some countries of the former communist block are its best shot. Choosing a location outside Bulgaria to make the movie more appealing did not help in my case. Neither did adding some native English speaking actors to the cast. Acting of the Bulgarian cast was sub-par. I could not make sense of some of their English sentences. If that were intentional, they were not targeting English speaking audience for sure. The story had the potential for a B-movie, but the execution fell short of that. The Bulgarian film industry has a long way to go before it could be accepted by a wider audience.

lerroxx I've never really appreciated the "modern" Bulgarian humor. It always has to be vulgar and obvious... not to mention repetitive. When I walked into the theater I was expecting to be bored out of my mind and if lucky to catch some Z's. I was pleasantly surprised. The movie had taste. The comedy was well thought through. The plot was interesting and hard to predict. While blown out of proportions Mission London perfectly describes Bulgarian mentality and way of life. And for a nation that gets things done half way this movie was almost perfect with no cutbacks and unnecessary BS.I'm glad this movie wasn't a disappointment. And will gladly watch it again.

drakula2005 Let me straighten this up-the movie isn't bad at all, but I think, the main problem of Bulgarian movies isn't the lack of ideas, but the lack of genre.When i walked in, the posters as well as the trailer, talked about some kind of a comedy.This isn't a comedy-it has funny moments, but one can count them easily, because they were that few.And at least 50 percent of them, and that means three, were in the trailer.The movie has politics involved in it, but it isn't a political movie either-this is a movie with fine actors, both Bulgarian and British, but without doubt, a movie made mostly for Bulgarians-there are political references, only a Bulgarian can understand, and jokes made specifically for them.The acting was one of the things i liked, but when a movie doesn't stick up to it's genre, you can't be sure, if those were one-time performances, or not.Alan Ford, a British actor, known mostly with his parts in Guy Ritchie's movies, wasn't at his regular level.He was good, but looked a little bit spooked and shy in a foreign movie.Something i liked was the cinematography-the movie was shot in great style i little bit blurry and old-fashioned, but in a good way- and that's the director to blame-hi did a fine job in this movie-making aspect.The one thing about the plot, i really don't understand is, how the ending adds up with the rest of the movie.The one thing i don't like about movies, is when it is all the same in the end.The characters haven't evolved, the whole situation hasn't been changed since the very beginning.Nothing changed, except a few missing ducks and a dead man lying on a pavement-that's all,Nothing really matters.Nothing significant to appreciate and value as useful the rest of the time.Overall, this movie isn't bad, it just isn't what it promises to be.Above average, considering all the American "movies", that are flushing out of nowhere, but could've been way better.With this fresh story, and talented actors, and the charisma one could accomplish in the middle of two different religions, traditions, cultures, worlds, this could've been a pretty memorable and intriguing roller-coaster ride.My rate would've been a little lower, but considering the obvious fact i'm a Bulgarian, i just can't rate it lower...Instead of a six, i'm giving it a seven...My rate: 6.5/10
