Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Utterly diabolical!!! I love John Hannah and Rupert Everett (hate what he's done to his face mind you) but honest to goodness, wooden acting, parts obviously dubbed with professional audio actors.. I could go on but as I've just wasted a few hours of my life in the vain hope of it getting half watchable, I wont!

If all you want is fast cars and guns then this is going to be above your head. There is lots of subtle intrigue and anticipation and the characters were like real people - not shallow props to some unconvincing graphic "cartoon". In real life people do not always wear their emotions on there sleeve and little boys can be quite quiet except when they spill the beans! I just had to keep watching it to find out what was going to happen next.Yes it is a bit slow moving as it sets the scene but that makes it all the more convincing and you are left with so many questions.I MUST see episode 2 to find out how it ends. I guess that makes it a pretty good movie!

I gave this movie quite a high rating because I rather enjoyed it. It was very, very bad in the characters, the plot lines, the direction, in pretty much everything. But the movie was one you could watch with granny or teenage offspring without feeling embarrassed. How many movies can one say that about nowadays? Now, while the characters were nearly all wooden, almost catatonic, they looked pretty enough or sinister enough, almost like a parody of TV movie-making. There were great gaps in which nothing much happened, when the stars (I use the term advisedly) seemed to have forgotten their lines or the director had perhaps popped out for a coffee (or ring his agent). Nevertheless, it was the equivalent of the endless "Schlager" (German pop songs) I used to hear (but not listen to) when I was a guest worker in 1970s West Germany. And I think, if I recall rightly, it didn't rain once throughout the whole three hours of the movie! What's not to like about such a nice, fluffy puppy of a movie that just wants its tummy tickled?

Really liked this! It was easy to watch & definitely held my attention all the way through. There were twists I didn't see coming and that keep you guessing plus the characters were well-drawn and believable. At the end of part one I was really keen to see part two! Always a good sign. John Hannah should be on TV more often! He's great in it. The other performances were very strong too but it made me realise I hadn't seen him in anything for a while. I didn't recognise the lead actress but thought she was very good & had a lot to do & she did it well. Thought the story was great with a lot of tension - kept me guessing! Funny, sad, people's lives are complicated etc. As good as a night in with a good book. Watch it!
