This movie is an excellent tale of Henry Wilt and his falling in with the police throughout the movie, I first heard of this movie when I was looking for Tom Sharpe books over the internet I think the movie is a brilliant piece of work in expressing the deep subconscious of a man pushed to the edge by a dominating wife a dead end job and a life that seems to be moving backwards instead of forwards, I have not read the book but I hear it is a fantastic novel and the movie has done it proud. There are some hilarious scenes one in particular Henry Wilt is in the police station facing charges of murdering his wife and uses a monitored phone call talking to the answering machine pretending its his wife to try to get out of trouble then we see the other side the answer machine where three police officers stand around conducting a search staring at the machine, its funny trust me. I don't think there is anything that unsuitable in the movie there are slight sexual references and some bad language but on the whole the movie is very tame
