Excellence On The Lunar Surface..

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2009)

I kept putting off watching this, for days I kept trying to busy myself with other things, such was my trepidation for it. I didn't want to not like Sam Rockwell as he is one of my favourite actors or indeed dislike a small indie film from an English director (indeed son of our Starman Mr David Bowie) So it was a while before I took the plunge and settled down to it.
How foolish did I feel thinking Sam Rockwell can be anything less than brilliant. In a small claustrophobic film such as this where he is the focal point of everything that goes on he is sublime. Indeed at times he reminds me of Edward Norton in Fight Club as he battles with the circumstances around him.
Do not put off seeing this, it is easily one of the films of the year and deserving of the praise it and its new director will receive.
