Honestly, how does such a dismal movie ever get funding? The most cliche'd plot, average acting, a lead character who manages to be a cross between the wonderful Stephen Graham and the appalling British politician Michael Portillo, a truly awful waste of a great actor in Carey Mulligan, and about four great lines in an average script. Totally unbelievable characters, shoddy dialogue, and a stupid storyline. Rosamund Pyke had the two best lines in the whole film and was sort of believable. Apart from that .... great locations... but maybe the money would have been better spent on something more substantial, like decent characterisation and plot.
