I do not write often, I have written maybe 30 reviews, mainly because of time. I write this review in rebuke of writer "rightwingisevil (United States)" I find the comments a very poor reading and note that nearly 71 people also disagree. This is as the aforementioned writes, claims British crime thriller, it does not have cars screaming around corners, it does not have over the top cops with magnums more likely found in Texas or people from there. It is subtle, like most British films and relies on peoples thought, not their eyes seeing loud thunderous noises and special effects. This is the second time I have seen this film, and still right until the end, I was not 100% sure of who did it. Yes, I think some characters roles where not played to their fullness however those that were, deserve applauded.
Yes this is not a Starsky & Hutch Crime story, nor is it meant to be. No it is not an award winning film, however, without the extreme violence found in US stories similar, it is a decent good watch. I remind people in the US that "Murder She Wrote" was exactly what the aforementioned person states are "Female English writers", the same of Murder She Wrote which at its time was a hit, I am sure in its present form it would not be, however it enjoyed a great run on US TV before the violence that the US is now synonymous with.
Do not expect Wuthering Heights, but be perplexed by the players in this mid-range mystery, so totally British.
