Silly, pointless and ridiculous, this wannabe-noir British mystery failed in every single thing it tried. The script is overly convoluted, the plot twists surreal and the ending just funny. It was so exhausting and tiring I wanted to scream and Elijah Wood's good, old Frodo...( read more)
In the opening scene, John Hurt?s performance gave promise of a potentially good film, however, as the Cluedo like plot emerged, it became clear that John Hurt, Elijah Wood and Tom Conti?s talents were wasted on such an amateur film. It certainly wasn?t all bad, but when we talk...( read more)
