Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
arnu69 If you liked Love Honour and Obey you'll love this one.All the same crowd Winstone,Burdis,Jude Law,Kathy Burke,side Frost,and the little fella that got stabbed in Love Honour and obey etc etc.Lots of comedy,a good story and a twist at the end.Sadie Frost plays Judes widow and it all revolves round a video Jude was making.Sadie gets all Judes friends round at the wake of his funeral and this is where the fun starts.Lots of home truths are discovered and it isn't long before Ray (Ray Winstone) gets wound up.Everybody at the wake is in some way offended but the outcome is top notch comedy.I thoroughly recommend the film and I'm sure if you enjoyed Love ,Honour and Obey you'll like this too.
kickinghigh After watching 'Love, Honour & Obey' (one of my favourite films!) I was really looking forward to watching this. It has the general same cast minus Sean Pertwee and Jonny Lee Miller and a couple more. The theme did sound excellent and a must-see from its cover. When I watched it I did feel quite disappointed. I'm a big fan of Jude Law and Ray Winstone and while they acted as tremendously as ever the film seemed to lack a certain spark and Sadie Frost's acting was quite disappointing also. The movie also seemed to be very cheaply made which is more evident in the scene where Jude Law's character is murdered! There are some comical moments in the film that make it worthwhile anyway! The concept was completely original and refreshing in that sense but in a couple of places seemed to have no logic. I did enjoy this nevertheless and will continue to watch it in the future and would recommend it to most people who like the substance of Brit flicks...I would just tell them not to hope/expect too much from it or to take every part literally. However, an enjoyable little number with some particularly sterling acting from Ray Winstone!
iprudd It cannot be argued that this is not original, put some of Britains best talent together, outline the plot, and then let them improvise the rest.Unfortunately what results is self absorbed tosh. When you find out what these "friends" do to each other I cannot believe that they would be friends anyway.The friends all meet at Jude's place after his funeral and are shown a tape which has been put together, by Jude, using hidden cameras. It shows a group of totally self-centred individuals who do drugs and steal from each other. None of them show any redeeming features which makes it impossible to empathise with them. What a waste of some of the best British talent around
Pete-228 I knew nothing at all about this film before I went to see it, so I was very surprised by it's content. Basically, a group of friends gather at the wake of one of their friends who has died. At this wake, they are shown a video that he has produced consisting of secret film taken of them all. This video gives away some of their deepest and darkest secrets, as well as giving an insight into what they really think of each other. For about the first fifteen minutes I found myself lost as to what was going on, but then it all starts to become clear and leads up to the sting at the end. Be aware though that the language is very strong and some of the actions in it are quite explicit. Despite this, though, I found it very enjoyable and I was absolutely hooked to it for most of the time. As an aside, if you've ever watched 'Operation Good Guys' on BBC you will recognise a lot of the cast.
