It stars Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collette, Imogen Poots, and Aaron Paul as four outsiders who happen to meet on the top of a London expanding on New Year's Eve, each with the purpose of submitting suicide. Their arrangements for death in isolation are demolished when they meet as they choose to descend from the rooftop alive — however provisional that might be.
Film Story: Martin Sharp (Pierce Brosnan) is thinking about suicide on New Year's Eve on the top of the Toppers Building, high over London's lanes. He is hindered by a lady, Maureen (Toni Collette), who has the same destiny at the top of the priority list. She bashfully offers to sit tight, until two different outsiders, a young lady named Jess (Imogen Poots) and a pizza deliverer called J.J. (Aaron Paul), likewise turn up.
Martin is perceived by the others, having been a well known TV character before going to jail for an association with a young lady who ended up being 15. In the wake of talking things over, the four outsiders frame an agreement, vowing to hold up at any rate until Valentine's prior day taking their lives.
Maureen has a crippled child she worships, however little life past that herself. Jess is the little girl of a lawmaker (Sam Neill) and their relationship is strained. J.J. is an American who once played in a band, yet while his three new colleagues are self-destructively discouraged, he is in critical condition with tumor. Then again so he says.
To benefit from disaster, Martin brings forth a plan that makes them the discussion of London, guaranteeing their mass suicide was hindered by a dream. They wind up on his old TV talk appear, where Martin's previous co-host Penny (Rosamund Pike) makes her visitors feel mortified and much more discouraged.

Matty, Maureen's child, shows at least a bit of kindness assault however recoups. Jess and Martin visit Maureen in the healing facility however J.J. can't be reached. They understand it's Valentine's Day and that their settlement has finished.

Film Review: Scratch Hornby has, generally, had quite good fortunes with regards to adjustments of his books. From "High Fidelity" to "Around a Boy," most have figured out how to catch at any rate some of his wry voice and social interests.
So Hornby fans were naturally eager to hear that Johnny Depp and "High Fidelity" screenwriter D.V. DeVincentis were ready to adjust "A Long Way Down," Hornby's dramedy of four self-destructive outsiders.
Oh dear, the motion picture wound up being made by French chief Pascal Chaumeil and British TV essayist Jack Thorne. Their inspirations for picking this specific source remain a secret, since they appear to be resolved to transform Hornby's dark satire into a simple to-overview swarm pleaser. The outcomes are unbalanced and atonal.
Penetrate Brosnan stars as Martin, a previous TV host who's as of late been discharged from prison subsequent to laying down with a youngster he believed was in her 20s. He's on a housetop on New Year's Eve, motivating prepared to bounce, when Maureen (Toni Collette) shows up with comparative expectations. She's soon trailed by Jess (Imogen Poots) and JJ (Aaron Paul).
Together, this bungled group chooses to keep each other alive for an additional six weeks, in the trust their lives will improve. Be that as it may, things just deteriorate once the media finds out about the abnormal agreement.
Every character is characterized in the least demanding of ways: Martin is an egocentric big name, Maureen the drab, working class mother of an extremely impaired child. Jess is a chafing adolescent opposing her government official father (Sam Neill), and JJ is a morose, wannabe performer.
Chaumeil has assembled a to a great degree solid cast, and the performing artists do attempt to break out of their restricted parts. Brosnan is blustery fun as a shallow narcissist, and Paul gives a significant stillness to Poots' unhinged exaggerating. Rosamund Pike additionally offers a brief, noteworthy turn as a flippant writer.
Be that as it may, none of the on-screen characters genuinely associate since none of the parts feel genuine. Also, the film's strangely chipper, sitcomish approach appears to be all off-base. The main thing that truly fits, given all the unrivaled Hornby ventures that have preceded, is the title.
