Hallam Foe (2007)
8/10
Jamie Bell comes of age.
16 August 2007
Jamie Bell's performance is fantastic. His character is troubled and not in the least appealing but by the end he's drawn you in and won you around. The Supporting cast are also strong and need to be as the story is not always believable. This is particularly true of the relationship between Bell and Sophia Myles.

Filmed in Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders, David McKenzie captures Edinburgh on screen in the most real way I have seen to date. Seeing it from Hallam's point of view gave me vertigo. McKenzie avoids the picture postcards of Edinburgh that we are familiar with and lets us see it as stunning and cool. Fantastic soundtrack. See this film.
