Lacks a je ne sais quiff - Tutti Frutti review by JD
Coltrane is always good value, Thompson and Wilson should make this a gas, but it didn't do it for me. I found it a bit slow and inconsequencial. The plot is slow, the photography indifferent, the whole thing lacks interest. Don't get me wrong, it is not bad, the characters are great and brilliantly played, the interactions are interesting, but I couldn't sustain motivation and didn't watch disc 2.
