Complete rubbish

Rating: 1/10 (19 August 2006)

This film has very little to recommend it. An old predictable storyline handled badly. I would have hoped for something better from Mr Dahl. Perhaps he had too much money to play with. We have all seen similar scenarios but this one lacks tension. The acting is as clumsy as the dialogue. Being able to weave into the action the rudiments of a love story was particularly impressive; however it was a feat which did very little to engage the viewer. I was fortunate enough to watch this film on DVD and perhaps that was the only reason I am able to post this comment. If I had viewed it in a cinema I am sure I would would have walked out long before the end.
