Strangle compelling.

Rating: 7/10 (2 November 2014)

This movie is never going to be a blockbuster but the people who made it know that. It could easily be a cult movie though.
The movie begins in a damp northern English seaside town. A dour depressing poor look and feel. It then moves to the Irish countryside, a wonderfully green forested dilapidated huddle of shacks in the middle of nowhere. A very nice contrast. Then finally the movie moves to the arid South West of the US. Always in run down depressed dingy bars. The scenarios and cinematography is superb.
The actors all played their parts well. A special mention has to be made for Fassbender though. He was superb. He has great screen charisma. He reminds me of Daniel Day Louis. The one criticism I have of Fassbender (and it is a very small one) is that his Irish accent comes through several times in the movie. He is supposed to be American.
My favorite scene is the part where Fassbender sings the song with the words "...Fiddly digits Itchy Britches...I love you all". They could have released that song. It would have made them money.
