    In East London, Jamie Morgan is a disturbed twenty-five year old photographer who misses his deceased father and has a complex due to his birthmark on the left side of his face and shoulder. In his neighborhood, gangs are more prevalent and there are a series of unresolved brutal murders in the area. Jamie lives a reclusive life with his beloved mother Marion and works in a studio with his brother Ray and his nephew Lee. When Jamie sees the aspirant model Tia taking photos with Ray and Lee, he develops a crush on her. When Jamie visits his father's grave with his mother at the cemetery, they are attacked and Marion is burned to death and Jamie is battered. Then his neighbor and former gang member A.J. is murdered on the streets. Jamie buys a pistol for self-protection and is ready to commit suicide but is summoned by the the Devil AKA Papa B. The Devil suggest that he will remove his birthmark in return for a favor.

    IMDB

    Jamie Morgan (Jim Sturgess) is a nice young man, although he tends to hide himself away in his mother's flat due to a number of unsightly birthmarks, including a heart-shaped one that covers half his face. He loves photography - something he inherited from his late father (Timothy Spall) - and works in a studio with his brother Raymond (Justin Salinger). He lives in a bad part of the city, but just as his world is rocked by a horrific act of violence, a mysterious phone call leads him to "Papa B" (Joseph Mawle), who offers him good looks in return for a few small acts of chaos. Jamie accepts, and is soon makes the acquaintance of two new people: Tia (Clйmence Poйsy), a pretty girl who had come to the studio for glamor shots but is far more comfortable dressed down, and "The Weapons Man" (Eddie Marsan), who will give him the unpleasant truth about just what he's agreed to.

    Heartless (2009)

    The opening scenes of Heartless are an excellent mix of the tense and matter-of-fact, communicating both the fear generated in living in an area where violence is an all-too-frequent occurrence and the need to live an everyday life. The world seems to get darker and darker, slowly closing in on Jamie and the viewer audience until the outdoors feels more claustrophobic than the inside. Writer/director Philip Ridley wastes little time here: We are quickly able to understand the city's malaise in purely human terms, but a supernatural element is also introduced fairly quickly. It's a nifty combination of cinematography and effects work, too - I spent a few moments admiring how the filmmakers were making something conventional look demonic in the shadows before it jumped out as an actual demon.

    Heartless (2009)

    Throughout the movie, Ridley finds a number of unique ways to creep the audience out. Jamie's initial meeting with Papa B is filled with tension, and also features one of the best uses of mobile phones in a horror movie. Eddie Marsan has a blackly comic scene with Sturgess that explicitly comments on this, actually - we often see the forces of evil shun modernity, but Heartless has them fully integrated into the modern connected world. And then there's little Nikita Mistry as a girl who, despite her connection to Papa B, seems good, but becomes quite scary even if she seems more driven by desperation than malice.

    Heartless (2009)

    The movie lightens up in the middle, but never completely. The scenes between Sturgess and Poйsy are uplifting and joyful, a fantastic respite from the previous air of misery. Both are enormously charming, and the feeling of liberation that initially comes over Jamie is one that spreads to the audience. It's a delightful, pure love, one that brightens up the screen even as it is intercut with more horrific images, and even as those two threads merge.

    Heartless (2009)

    And merge they must - though the devil can give you everything you want, he doesn't do it for free. The way Ridley brings his stories to a head is jarring at times, and maybe involves a trick or two that the film often seemed to be above, but it has a dark beauty as it appears on screen. The film shines that way; Ridley and company have given great attention to each piece, from the perfect lighting to the songs that Ridley co-wrote.

    It's not often that one comes out of a horror movie feeling like one has seen something beautiful, but "Heartless" manages that rare trick.

    Heartless (2009)

    Philip Ridley brings us a new style of horror. Mesmerizing and twisted, Heartless tries to appeal to our deepest senses - fear simply being one of them - by means of psychology. The "monster" in this so called horror drama, is not a monster at all but an inner pattern of what makes us humans; of what our feelings may turn us into.

    Perhaps the movie is slightly underrated because the point of view that should have been used to look at this movie was not from the outside of the box but from the inside.

    The performances were pretty good especially from Joseph Mawle(Papa B) whom i have only seen in Merlin, Eddie Marsan("Sherlock Holmes") and his charismatic flavor and of course Jim Sturgess who proves once again that he is a British star on a dark sky. However i expected somewhat more from Clemence Poesy("War and Peace", "In Bruges) other than a lovely accent.
