Bit of a shocker

Rating: Null/10 (25 August 2004)

A pity this films downfall is through basic error. Seamlessly shot and edited, the camera-work is smooth and faultless, often with exciting angles and framing. However, so as not to ruin the plot or change anyones opinion on the content, my complaints are rather unspecified. In some of the scenes, ironically some of the most serious of the film there is at the top of the shot the fluffy camera mic poking down. In three or four scenes this occurs, often with several inches of the mic being displayed.In one scene a dark pole appears at the top of the shot, so blatantly visible it is cringe-worthy. How could this happen- did the editors not see? It ruined the film for me as the audience split into peels of laughter, and unable to take the film seriously after, the experience was ruined. I can't believe such basic errors were made, and it's such a shame as it deterred attention away from the compelling performances of the actors. what a shocker!!
