Natalie's nice - isn't she?

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2007)

Just a bit of a horror comic really but exciting and well acted with some seasoned English professionals. As always Tim Pigot-Smith turned in a good performance as a government "facilitator" and Stephens Rea and Fry excel.A mesmerising turn by Hugo Weaving whose face is never seen although we are given a good idea what to expect if the mask were to come off.John Hurt only really appears on a giant Jumbotron to shout at his underlings. The prize goes to the astonishingly beautiful Natalie Portman who just gets better and better. A performance of great sensitivity and range, she is a magnet to the camera. And I could sit and watch her sleek, toned bottom all day long.
