Spoilers ahead.
This had me glued from the beginning. Although I found the Nigerian couple's input a bit confusing and disjointed. Colin Firth, Ann Marie Duff and Robert Carlyle were all brilliant. I liked the sense of hope/ pending menace created by the Robert Carlyle and Ann Marie Duff relationship, although I found the fact that a battered woman would link up with another man who'd been in jail so easily a bit far fetched. Colin Firth's character was very believable and his guilt understandable. Nice scenes with the young vulnerable girl who sticks to him like a limpet. Did anyone else feel the ending a wee bit predictable? Bit of trivia Robert Carlyle and the girl in the hotel were previously man and ex wife in The Full Monty. Colin Firth and Emilia Fox (his wife) were previously brother and sister in Pride and Prejudice
