“This is the first time Iu0026#39;ve commented on IMDb but this film deserves to be seen by more people so I thought Iu0026#39;d give it another positive review. To begin with I thought Tom Hardy, who played Stuart, turned in an excellent performance and Iu0026#39;m sure weu0026#39;ll see plenty more from him in the future. Despite being a knife-wielding, psychopathic, booze hound even from the beginning, I felt empathy for his character, its hard not to. All of the acting is as good as the script allows but Hardys performance just shines through. However its really the story, told backwards, thats the reason this is such a enchanting film. Having read the book a couple of days ago i can also add this film, refreshingly, is very true to, and just as good as, the book. Iu0026#39;ve no idea if it was on TV or has been released on DVD, but if you get the chance watch this film, its thought provoking, heart wrenching, enthralling, funny, stomach churning, touching and it will be an eye opener to a lot of people.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWATCH THIS FILM!”
