I honestly don't know what to say about this film, other than pointing out the fact that it is British, so that should give you a general idea of where I stand ;)
There were a few really fabulous scenes in this movie, and some stunning shots, but overall with the thick accents I couldn't understand what the characters were saying half the time! Plot was familiar yet intriguingly twisted and the supporting case was solid. You might argue that it was the fragile beauty of Keira Knightley or the aggressive yet sensitive Colin Farrell that was distracting, but I say no, no I think it was the garbley-accented dialogue.
Overall, probably the same issue that I had with Snatch - what otherwise would have been a perfectly enjoyable movie ruined by my inability to comprehend thick accents of the UK. Don't hold it against me, or the movie, but you have been fairly warned that turning english subtitles on may be beneficial...
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
