“When I came across the DVD for this movie at my local library, I hadnu0026#39;t even heard of it before. Without looking it up at the IMDb, I decided to give it a chance since it promised to be a crime movie filled with twists and turns. Even before getting to the end of the movie, I was regretting that I hadnu0026#39;t looked up the movie at the IMDb before deciding to watch it. I agree with most of the previous posters here that the movie simply isnu0026#39;t very good. Itu0026#39;s filled with little action and suspense, and is instead padded with endless talk – and not very engaging talk. The main problem with the movie is that it is VERY confusing – even though I read the plot description off the back of the DVD case before watching the movie, it didnu0026#39;t take me long to get utterly mystified as to who was who and what was exactly going on. I guess the acting is competent, and the British backdrop does give the movie a different look and feel from Hollywood product. And the movieu0026#39;s production values are okay for what had to have been a small budget. But those things donu0026#39;t save the movie from being an utterly confusing bore.”
