A Decent UK effort

This production was never meant to be a Hollywood cinema release, so why are you all trying to review like one.

It was made for the daytime UK T.V. A local station production.

It uses a few familiar faces from Brit TV. which I believe makes a film more entertaining, common actors do get type cast.

The film is meant to be a relaxing mid-night arm chair affair, not an exploding, hormone adrenaline Arnie flick. As such is does well to highlight the plight of the homeless in the UK. We think that it will always be someone else who will take care of things, but we all must do our part. We look past the homeless, the destitute, those worse of than us, hoping that we will never have to come in contact with them. That is until we end up in similar circumstances
