When I saw this advertised to appear on TV yesterday I thought it would be right up my street. Armed with a slab of Christmas cake & a pot of coffee I settled myself down for the biggest disappointment of the Xmas holidays thus far. This is a seriously unengaging movie. It's difficult to describe, but I felt throughout that I wasn't gaining anything by watching it. When the first victim is hit I simply wasn't interested, affected or bothered. I couldn't have been less moved if I'd been looking at an old man picking a loaf of bread off a supermarket shelf. The film seems to have been randomly clashed together without any movie-making skills or attempt to encourage the viewer to stick with it. One uninteresting, awful scene after another steadily strips away any enthusiasm till there's eventually none left. In the right storyteller's hands, with the right actors this could have a hoot. Instead it's just a flop. I won't be watching it again.
