SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

info-5918 I'm surprised this got such a low score. At the time it was quite a funny little quirky movie, featuring catherine Zeta jones and Sean Pertwee doing some pretty good roles. Its nothing too sophisticated, but a plot about friends "growing up" and getting serious about life. Some funny lines and a great glimpse at surfer culture in the UK.One of Ewen Macgregor's early roles. His role was pretty small, but there are various DVD cover redesigns over the years where, as he got more famour, he gradually gets bigger on the cover until he completely replaces the main lead actor!.

fedor8 I saw this dull waste of time on HBO's Comedy Channel, so I quite innocently and obviously assumed that this was a comedy. But there is absolutely nothing funny here. A good cast is basically wasted on a script that I could have written with my left butt-cheek - after it had been beaten senseless by 15th-century Inquisition torturers. The first half is particularly bad, as it has some of the most dull, pointless dialogue I've come across in a while, and zero comma zero plot to speak of. Just the fact that stars such as Ewan McGregor and Zeta-Jones are in this little movie and yet this film has less than 1000 votes on this site, should tell you everything. A couple of nice shots of waves hitting the cold British coast, but that's about it.This is the sort of movie that gets made just because the people who wrote it have good connections (family connections, preferably) and/or plenty of cash lying around.

marlin-21 A proper little gem of a feelgood movie, it has well wrought characters and great character portrayals. It also has production values way above it's budget. For what it is worth, England ( well, Cornwall really ! ) has never looked better, and, projected with a script of some worth, the whole movie adds up to a true mini classic. Each character's role is well explored and developed, and the level of each actor's ability is truly impressive. All it lacks is a first class music soundtrack, something which one is entitled to take for granted in a movie aimed at the market it does. A little more hot sex would not have gone amiss either !...especially with Catherine Zeta-Jones in the driving seat !

oconnt It is customary, in a surf movie, to use footage from at least similar locations for a single ride. For a character sketch the characters were a little flat. For a bit of afternoon fluff the movie was a little inane. All in all quite a long vehicle for 5 minutes of laughter.
