Diane Perrin – Google

Too indulgent. I suspect a lot of people will be disappointed if they follow the reviews identifying this as genius. If people need to google the film to try to understand what it was all about it is not worth wasting however long the film is of your life watching it. Jake Gyllenhall is easy on the eye but even he could not rescue this turkey. Definitely not for the general public viewing, only for the pretentious who will discuss it wasting even more of their lives.

This film fails on so many levels. Chris Rock is unbelievable in both roles, he just cannot act. The swaps between stunt person and actor throughout are obvious. Anthony Hopkins is too old and too hefty to even attempt to play an action hero and even he doesn't commit to this film, obviously knowing it is a complete turkey. Chris Rock was so annoying that I wanted to slap him. I'm so glad I watched it on a free streaming service rather than having gone to the cinema or bought the DVD. Don't waste your time with this unless it is to play a game and pick holes in it. Come to think of it, if we had taken a drink at every cliche, poor swap between stunt men and actors and over acting scene we might have been in with a chance of enjoying it!

Intriguing. Excellent cast. For once a unique storyline that not only draws you in but unlike most tv, requires you to focus on it, to concentrate, so it makes you switch off your computer or social media and JUST watch it! There are scientific facts within, details of mythology, so many strands that grabs individuals attention. It is so clever that you notice more and more things you missed first time around from further watching of it. I've seen the entire series twice now, once when I began to watch it, secondly so my husband could see it and enjoyed it so much, I intend to watch it again. The characters are well observed and similarities occur across the layers, which does add weight to the nature versus nurture debate. There are characters you find sympathetic and care about and those to dislike intensely, to root for in different ways. The notion of 33 being a theme consistent in history is intriguing as well. Christ died aged 33 according to scripture and as a result cardinals have 33 buttons on their gowns. The triquetra is adopted as a symbol by many societies - the celtic trilogy knot for instance. There really IS something for everyone in this series and I cannot rate it highly enough. The music is evocative and hauntingly beautiful. So much so, I tracked down the album by the musicians that opens the show and it is well worth listening to separately. ENJOY!!!

I have to agree with many of the negative reviews posted here. The whole film is on a par with the wig that Nicholas Cage wears. I love films and always try to find something positive about every film but this is just dire. The script could have been something in the right hands, but the dialogue is stilted, the acting wooden, the characters are characterless and I just couldn't stay interested in the plot, such as it was. NO sympathetic characters because there was not enough building of relationships for you to become that much involved. Too much focus on slow motion violence and victims still being able to function. Even amongst straight to video films this is poor. Nick Cage and John Cusack have made some turkeys in their time, but I bet both of them wish they could erase this from their resumes. If this film cost more than 50p to make they were robbed.
