Nice documentary and excellent PR for Blair

Rating: 4/10 (6 October 2006)

What was this film about? An excellent performance by Helen Mirren and the guy with an uncanny physical resemblance to Tony Blair failed, in my opinion, to raise this film from the purely pedestrian. Might be popular with Royalists but again, I have to ask, what was this film trying to achieve. This would have worked quite well as a one hour TV programme but failed to transmit in any way to the big screen. If your looking for something 'safe' to take your aged aunt to watch, this is the film for her, totally safe and undemanding. Might have been better if the actor who played Phil the Greek kept in the same character as the crooked cop in 'LA Confidential' Sorry, a big disappointment....
