Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
didi-5 A totally lamentable mess of a film, 'starring' the untalented Liz Hurley in a plot which was something to do with drugs. I think.What really got me about this turkey was the calibre of the actors who were somehow persuaded to appear in it: Joss Ackland! Claire Bloom! Jeremy Brett, for god's sake (in his final film appearance as he died soon after). Alan Freeman (no, wait, he probably belongs here as an overaged daft DJ).The worst thing about it is that you remember certain bits of awfulness for ages and ages afterwards. Trust me, you really don't want to see Ackland in sexy scenes. You don't. And that bit with Hurley and Brett is just sooo pathetic. Tut. Avoid this load of rubbish at all costs.
alicecbr You keep thinking that the cliches will stop, that someone will show some emotion, that an English word besides 'f...k' will be used to describe something.....but no, no, NO!! You are condemning yourself to a monumental waste of time if you think things will get any better.The plot is so confusing, and then it becomes not even worth the bother to sort out. Maybe Elisabeth Hurley was playing a stony-faced, no-emotion, no-care druggy; or maybe....she CAN'T ACT!!! Whichever, even the coupling scenes (it would be an insult to call them 'love scenes') are amateurish. You don't even care about the torture scenes. Glad I couldn't recognize Claire Bloom...she was probably glad, herself.The lighting is haphazard, the dialogue hardly comprehendible. I wasted $10 on this dog....mad, it was not. Boring, it most definitely was.
peacham It is a true shame that this piece of garbage was the wonderful Jeremy Brett's last film. obviously he needed money to treat the heart disease that killed him at 60 years old.Mr. Brett tries his best but with a script and direction straight out of amatuer theatricals what could he do?
roland-27 Mad Dogs starts off well-A police raid of a local drug store, but after the first half an hour, it becomes incredibly boring. It focuses on the romance between a hard ass American biker and a lonely druggy.No-one really deserves any real recognition for this, but Jock Ackland is probably better than the rest. Elizabeth Hurley is patchy. In some scenes she does well, but in others you wonder why she is such a big success.Despite a decent beginning and a good ending, this is nothing compared to other British films like Trainspotting, The Full Monty and Face. Rating=2/5
