A fantastic and intensely enjoyable filmOnly a handful of films have ever been awarded a 10/10 for me - this is one of them.
Having
been given the chance to read the script by Rupert a couple of years
ago, when the film was in preproduction and looking for filming
locations, I have been waiting for this film for a long time knowing how
much potential it had - never have I been so gripped by a movie script
on first reading.
Oh boy, I wasn't disappointed. Wyatt delivered
the story big time, for me. I went to see it last night on the first
showing in Cardiff and enjoyed it so much that I went with a friend this
afternoon to see it again. My friend also agrees with my feelings! I
can understand how some people may find it confusing (especially in the
first 15 minutes) but I think by the end, when all the pieces fit
together, it's a classic.
Having seen it the second time now,
there is SO much detail I missed the first time (some of which my friend
actually spotted on the first watch).
This film ticks all the
boxes for me. Strong characters played by talented actors. A complex but
ultimately rewarding plot. An intense and superb soundtrack (needs to
be seen in a cinema with good surround
