disgusting, overrated, pointless

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

I'm not going to describe what's going on in the film because others have but I must say this is a keeper.I bought the DVD and have seen it 5 times now. Of course it's easy to watch Douglas Henshall... any time especially his voice.. whew... Story line is believable and the writing is top notch. Incredible film. I have a friend who has trouble hearing things, so I turned on the closed captions . . makes it easier to understand words not familiar to us folks over across the pond from the UK. Top marks, y'all. It's really a great show. Thank you

While we understand that what we watched was probably one of the numerous truncated versions, we were probably just spared a more lengthy period of boredom because of that fact.Horowitz is a very good writer but the problem begins when the story has to be directed by someone else, in this case, a mediocre, at best, Marc Evans .........mostly a documentary director and way over his head in this.There are not too many writers, and even fewer directors, who can effectively and engrossingly pull off multiple story lines and pull them all together into a coherent and interesting story and display their relationship to each other of the story lines .........Horowitz may be one of those, Evans will never be. There in lies the problem for this slow, ponderous, sleep-inducing effort ..........way too much back story, way too much set-up, way too many relationships, way to many secrets to collate, and a bizarre science fiction ending out of nowhere .........not the usual for Horowitz and way too much to blend into a coherent story by anyone other than maybe Guy Ritchie .........and sadly, Evans is certainly no Guy Ritchie.Due to all this strange conglomeration, it is difficult to say exactly what kind of a story this is ........too bad ........all the ingredients but no recipe.

Although I enjoyed the show, I did not understand where Tolin got the digital version of the incriminating information on the chemical company. Did anyone else catch that? Also, in retrospect, I gather from the final "what might have been" sequence, that Jane had taken an unsuccessful swat at the wasp at the beginning of the series. But that was not memorable and it would have helped if that had been included among the many flashbacks. Some other issues were unresolved: (1) Did Brian get arrested for murdering his mother-in-law? The police still wanted to see him and there were some suspicious findings regarding how he handled the car. (2) Was the head of the chemical company arrested for involvement in his employees murder or genocide in East Africa? Again there was some evidence.It seemed not only heartless, but bad policing for Tolin to have ignored the plea of the phony James Taylor. Acting on his plea could have led the police to the murderers of Karen Donnelly.

I saw an advert for this one-off five-part mini-series drama, and had an idea that it would be something that would all come together in the end, and I was sort of right after watching it all. Basically a group of strangers, introduced in the first episode, who have never met are brought together by a devastating car crash/road accident. Through the episodes you see the stories of the people involved, what happened before and during, and how it changes the lives of people who knew them. I got confused with some of the events before the crash, especially as some of the flashback material was meta-fictional, but the themes of embezzlement, murder and smuggling gave it some interest. Of course the ending did explain how the crash happened in the first place, it is a simple swatting/killing of a wasp that would change the future, as a rewound and then alternative flashback shows. Starring Primeval's Douglas Henshall as D.I. John Tolin, Shaun of the Dead's Kate Ashfield as Ann Stallwood, Christopher Fulford as D.C.I. Stephen Maitland, Jo Woodcock as Jade Tolin, Coronation Street's Craig Kelly as Jeffrey Rampton, Dean Lennox Kelly as Danny Rampton, Zoe Telford as Sandra Rampton, Carrie & Barry's Claire Rushbrook as Karen Donnelly, Philip 'Phil' Davis as Brian Edwards, Jan Francis as Christine Edwards, Ice Cold in Alex's Sylvia Syms as Joyce Thompson, Doctor Who actor Paul McGann as Richard Reeves, Lucy Griffiths as Jane Tarrant, Sugar Rush's Lenora Crichlow as Alice Jackson, David Bamber as Sidney Norris, Nicholas Farrell as Guy Pearson, The Lenny Henry Show's Jocelyn Jee Esien as Cindie Smith and The Fast Show's Colin McFarlane as Bill Jackson. It had cheesy dialogue, not very impressive acting in parts, but at the same time, I am sort of glad I tried and watched it all the way through. Good!
