Moles kill people.

Rating: 8/10 (18 September 2011)

I watched this in Hereford recently with wife and 20 year old son. Not a film for teenagers, unless you are trying to tell them what it was like when you were young, so little chance of it being a blockbuster like 'Harry Potter'. Even our 20 year old found it "strange". Only thing he really got hold of, having the gift of absolute pitch, was the music score. He latched on to the upbeat music played against a background of very sombre almost eerie sounds – the net curtains,the guy garroted etc. On the surface everything is fine but but come back later.... sort of bland yet evil.
'Perfect evil music score', he said.
So it really is a film for grown ups. It's so authentic that anyone who was young at that time will remember the clothes and cars etc. Because the film moved so slowly I actually liked the 'action' scenes in Hungary and Turkey the most though the tension in the so-called 'Circus' was good too.
