Featured review
Is this a joke?
I'm not sure if this is a serious drama or a black comedy.
On the up side the production values are quite high.
On the downside, the plot is ridiculous. Coincidence piles on coincidence and there are clichés all over the shop A missing man is spotted in a glimpsed dark photo?
Everyone seems connected to the same events or locations The main character who has fled her past just seems to be round the corner from her old haunts.
The dancing psychos seem out of a different movie.
James Nesbitt's policeman is always watchable but is surely playing this for laughs albeit with a straight face .
His dialogue with his partner and ex wife is actually a high spot, whereas the aging copper who hates tech and his overkeen boss are just too predictable.
To round out the clichés there is a sleazy club with a manageress who has a heart of gold .
Richard armitage is a burned out down on his luck photographer.
Oh and Eddie Izzard plays a kindly uncle / junkie lawyer operating out of a pet shop. But without the humour or flair of a Saul Goodman.
The Americanisms (pro bono lawyers, huge basements, 17 year olds driving about by themselves) come thick and fast..did noone from the UK adapt the script?
Regardless... The relatively high production values and the strong cast make this watchable (just about).
It's alright, but it's not great by any standards.
