Poor

Rating: 2/10 (18 January 2006)

Poor...very poor Despite the mixed reviews I was quite looking forward to seeing this film, but was thoroughly disappointed in the end.
The dialogue was stilted and unnatural and the acting by the main characters wooden - although the supporting cast of British "regulars" did a good job. The dull first hour or so of the film was followed by a brief plot twist, which was well performed, and a short "Crime and Punishment" reference before meandering on into stilted and unbelievable conclusion.
As a Brit I found the film seemed to be "translated from American" - we're in London so we'd better have a steady stream of black cabs, Minis and Routemaster buses in the background (think Dynasty scenes in London)
All in all, not worth the money...
