Anyone seen it?
I thought it was a good little film. The voice over takes a while to get used to, but when the film gets into its swing its a dark, thoughtful analysis of not only the shady areas where legitimate business meets the criminal underworld but also of the darker confines of the human mind as it faces the corrupting influences of the world. Its not a particularly showy piece of filmaking, but Hodges' direction was very effective imo, and it did not feel like a TV drama to me, which was what one review I read was suggesting. It is definitely worth seeing.
