Film Reviews by BH

It's essentially Dumb and Dumber with better actors. That's not enough. It's funny in parts, and while Angouri Rice as a precocious 13-year-old is excellent, it's hard not to feel uncomfortable watching the scenarios in which she's placed. Watchable, but not essential viewing by any stretch of the imagination.

This is a gripping, whirlwind of a movie. You have to pay attention, but the way it plays with your mind as much as the characters is clever. You have to be able to go with it, but this is cool, stylish film, with arresting visuals and hypnotic music. Good performances too from McAvoy and Dawson. It twists and turns througout and Danny Boyle does just enough to get you to the end. Worth watching if you have the intelligence to stay with it.
