| Comments |
This is yet another above-average low-production British thriller. It has some decent performances from Shelley and Patterson - with typically good support. This is a fine murder-mystery and another film I would have never seen had it not been for this DVD. This is in-line with other competent and watchable, reasonably-priced, single-layered SD PAL transfer from Network out of the UK. The image very clean with some crispness in the original 1.66:1 aspect ratio. The SD transfer is anamorphic and progressive, has a high bitrate and supports the film well with a very watchable presentation. Audio matches the competence of the video - clean and clear in lossy. The score is from Neville McGrah - his only composing credit. There are no subtitles on the region 2 disc. Extras include only a trailer which has been typical of the supplement output from Network for these B-thriller. The film is better than most for this pleasurable genre of short Brit crime-thrillers. I will watch it again when the mood strikes and I have forgotten key details. At the right price, the appropriate audience will appreciate. - Gary Tooze |
