5 out of 10 and that's pushing it.

Rating: 5/10 (16 February 2007)

I was really looking forward to seeing this, and yes the set rather like 28 days later was superb. But you can't enjoy a film purely on the background, can you? I know it's a unusual film but I just couldn't buy into it, to be honest it's all bit pointless and daft, I wanted so much more.
Michael Caine's character is atrocious. Strawberry cough...it's not real humour, the correct spelling of humour by the way.
Clive Owen leaves me cold, he's a very wooden actor, a one trick pony, Britain's answer to Ben Affleck, both unable to display more than a couple of facial expressions.
The film crescendos to an end which was rather like opening a bottle of pop only too discover its gone flat.
Personally I cannot believe people really think this belongs in the top 250 films. Maybe they're easily pleased.
Not good, not bad, just very very average.
