Alun Marchant

Have persevered through the first 30 minutes where nothing whatsoever happens and the dialogue is limited to a short question every 4 or 5 minutes by the child which the adults don’t answer. I’m baffled as to how the director thought a repetitive shot from a distance of the 3 characters sitting at a table on the patio saying and doing nothing would captivate an audience. Easily the most pointless boring 30 minutes of movie I’ve ever sat through. A complete waste of time and money.

Not a bad series but I am a bit disappointed after seeing the reviews. Perhaps it hasn’t dated well. It’s entertaining despite numerous holes in the storyline that stretch credibility. The fight in season 1 episode 8 between a man and a woman has to go down as one of the most ridiculous fight scenes of all time. No one, male or female, would last that long with the sort of beating each one was getting. The fight is interminable and ludicrous and, eventually, so annoying it has tainted my opinion of the show as a whole.

Didn’t mind the movie. It is formulaic but well done. Brutal in places. The constant The Smiths music drove me mad though. They chose to play this band throughout except when he goes to a house where a Portishead song is playing (that I much preferred over any Smiths song ) and a few towards the latter part of the movie. It really grates after a while. Were they really that popular that they deserved to have almost a dozen of their songs played throughout?
