Could of been so good

A Customer from London, 3rd March, 2008

As the other viewer pointed out the plots are all in place but sadly it drifted into rubbish. Avoid this turkey

Phenomenal

mistyhaze from , 2nd May, 2008

I disagree wholeheartedly with the other reviews. Although short, the film literally had me captivated from the first scene. Both Caine and Law put forward amazing performances, but I have to say that the way Law portrayed the character(s) was clever beyond belief. His conduct of phrases and vocabulary is out of this world, as previously seen in Closer. Anyone who likes a slightly out of the mainstream, arty type of film, but intelligent and witty at the same time will be in for a treat. Dont bother if you want the bulk standard run of the mill, blockbuster type of film.

Pointless

nicki1987 from from Buckinghamshire, 14th May, 2008

I saw this movie on a date and it was a horrendously bad choice! The acting is superb as is to be expected with Caine and Law but the story line is sheer rubbish. The only good part was when it ended although this was abrupt and seems to be halfway through the movie with no conclusions leaving the viewer wondering what on earth it was all about! All in all, an awful film and 2 hours of my life ill never get back!

Contemptible

A Customer from Oldham, 20th May, 2008

Michael Caine is a legend. Like him or not, Jude Law is a good actor. So you would quite rightly presume this to be an interesting and entertaining film. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. I sat through a painful hour of this rubbish before i turned it off. If you decide to make up your own mind, then you should prepare for one of the worst films ever.

What a dreadful remake!

A Customer from Wigan, 5th July, 2008

I love the original movie with Olivier and Caine and was looking forward to the remake. I was massively disappointed. It was badly acted, the pace was too quick and the story did not flow properly. What a complete waste of time and I would not recommend it to anyone.

I detect a very poor remake!

Feg from from York, 4th July, 2008

If you have seen the original film then there really is no point watching this at all. I do not understand why filmakers even decide to remake a film which in its day was average. The performances of both actors is admirable throughout but it really is a very poor film. If you have not seen the original or know of any plot twists then give the film an extra star.

Bitter disappointment

Kristy from Devon, 3rd July, 2008

I was really looking forward to seeing this film as I am a huge fan of Michael Caine (and I went to school with the producer, Ben Jackson). I found it to be a real disappointment, with corny lines, half-assed acting and characters you couldn't relate to or sympathise with. For two men involved in a love-triangle, there was no believable passion. I won't even comment on the Yorkshire accent! Real shame..

Mr Caine just keeps on getting better.

Paul Shears from England, 2nd July, 2008

It's good to see that Michael Caine now chooses to take only excellent parts in excellent films. Watch this one with interest.
