Thought provoking but still a few concerns

Rating: 7/10 (13 July 2012)

This movie had a nice rhythm to it and the score is both fantastic and apt. I did have a few concerns though: 1. JRM is supposed to be a poor Irish boy yet doesn't have the hint of an Irish accent (at least to my ear) 2. JRMs acting is pretty wooden. 3. JRM lands some swanky job in the gherkin yet in one of the scenes it appears he is day trading in Forex. Not sure why he needs a secretary for this or that his excuse to have to head in to town to sign papers is believable within this context . Furthermore, for someone with zero biz experience its hard to believe that he is suddenly in the position he finds himself AND gets plaudits for doing a good job. 4. The coppers were nothing more than comic relief and JRMs acting when he is called in following the murders is pretty weak. 5. Except for one scene it was fairly bright and sunny. This is London people! Who are you kidding? 6. In an early scene, Mathewe Goode and JRM are discussing whether Tim Henman or Agassi was better...Really??
Aside from that I enjoyed the movie. Not to mention watching Scarlett..what can one really say about that!
I'd give it a 6.8 but since IMDb doesn't allow decimals I'll have to go with 7.
