A Film that deserves better in the UK

Having seen this through a rental release, i think this is a film that deserved much more. For a film that only got a rental release, it seems to be a cut above the rest of many rental releases and perhaps some movies that have released at the cinema.

I noticed this movie for the John Digweed crafted soundtrack, and was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the film itself.

I could go on for hours about how great i think the whole film is, from the soundtrack to the cast, and to the writer/directors however, i will take up too much space doing so.

However, hats off to to Drew Daywalt and David Schneider who have crafted, along with everyone else who worked on the film, a film that deserves much better treatment.

ten out of ten, two thumbs up etc etc etc
