Rent Some Voices (2000)

Two Brothers - Some Voices review by CP Customer

Based on a play this film demands good actors as there are only a few characters in the story. Once more Daniel Craig gives a excellent performance as a mental unstable man who has problems handling the vibrant life of London - much different from the glamourous and heroic style of James Bond.

A Very Good Film - Some Voices review by Cato

Daniel Craig is very good in this film and David Morrissey backs him up excellently as his brother trying to keep his wayward younger brother under a semblance of control. But it's hard going as this brother tries his best to go off the railway lines in everything he does. The script is very good and the action is chaotic at times. For a film made nearly 20 years ago it's still a good one to watch.

Excellent British film on mental illness, Daniel Craig stars 5 years before Bond - Some Voices review by PV

I had no expectations about this film but it is really excellent, based on a play and the credits show doctors advised on it - why the psychosis seems to disturbing and authentic. No idea who wrote it but I bet it reflects their life.

Filmed in one of the more awful areas of west London, down by the Westway, the sort of London of chicken shops and noisy messy high streets I hate. No wonder they all go mad.

A 2000 film so Daniel Craig here 5 years before Casino Royale this first James Bond. Goes full naked here too which was a surprise.

A very authentic and perversely entertaining film. Great music too.

4.5 stars rounded up.
