| Shadows on the WallRich ClineEven MTV knows to use seasick camerawork, jagged cutting and colour/monochrome shifts sparingly. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerAn intriguing set-up and a strong cast are completely squandered by a ludicrous plot and some truly atrocious camera work that renders the film literally unwatchable. |
| User Reviewscott ga fasinating look at fleet street, the newspaper district in london, set at one of the papers, simon callow, is a editor whos also having a affair with his boss wife who also works at the paper, and also in line with callow for promotion, while at same time a inportant piece about the royalfamily emerges, and conflicting interests arise as to wether they should run the story, so a little backstabbing emerges. a great look to this film hand held and ery jerky, really takes you into the action of the office, topical debates brought up, which brings this film into todays world, malcolm mcdowell great as the boss after his own interests, and jennifer jason lee, great as the out of her depth american having the affair, confirms all we know and think about the tabloids, in the uk, really bad, |
| User ReviewSakae IMe gusta el guion. Pero los interminables movimientos de camara hacian que mi cerebro no pudiese relajarse ni un momento. No hay en toda la pelicula un plano en el que la camara este quieta. Llega a marear y producir nauseas al espectador. Satirico y rompedor guion queda eclipsado por la mierda del movimiento de camara. Y Malcolm McDowell, mi adorable Alex de "la naranja mecánica" hace un papel normal y corriente, no deslumbra por su actuación. |
| User ReviewMorgan BThe worst film I have ever seen! Probably OK and with some quality actors but the hand held camera and editing is as badly done and as intrusive as it could possibly be. Avoid as if your life depended on it!!! |
