| User ReviewDavid SIt is a shame this movie does not get more exposure. Apart from the fact that is in important case study of sublte and underlying racism in a bureaucratic society of white nobodies it is a gripping and terifying chamber drama. When a young black man is arrested he does not know that is a suspect in a murder case involving his own wife and he is now in the hands of psychotic and violent flatfoot duo Riley & Carn who a psyched about the landslide conservative victory and fantasize about the new 'dawn' of a a right wing government. The performances are very good and it says a lot about the actors' talents (and the screenwriters) when you can set the whole film in an interrogation room with 2 chairs and a table. This film is based on a stage play and you can tell, sharp dialogues, great acting and dense atmosphere. A great movie, should not be missed by anyone. |
| User ReviewPaul DInterrogation stage-play that has a workable big screen script, although Rafe Spall's character seem to be a caricature of a David Walliams invention. |
| User ReviewMike MResolutely theatrical in both staging and performance; one might say the determination the coppers display towards breaking the accused is as nothing compared to the director's desire to grind down his audience. It's all words - the kind of thing actors eat up, but too often mistake for a satisfying meal - and any subtlety or nuance gets lost in the flow: equipped with period hair and glasses, Spall could resemble any number of David Walliams/Robert Webb sketchshow creations, and the actor's technique and choices are left horribly exposed by the tight, constraining focus. Brown, at least, gets stuck into the language, and Dyer does what he can with the righteous straight bat [playwright Barrie Keeffe] equips him with, but it's just hard to see why this play's being revived now, in this format, other than to coincide with the arrival of another Conservative government. |
