Seen both parts now, 10 October 2006
Author: danngil from Canada

Can anyone tell me why TV Listings in a newspaper never say that a movie is in two parts? Do they want to sabotage a competing medium that much? As a result, I ended up viewing only the first part of Final Demand without seeing the second episode. Despite that, I entered a good review based on half the job. Now, I've seen both parts, thanks to knowing this movie comes in two parts. I'll stick with my original impression and add a few more comments.

As with most European movies, the writing is tighter than in North America. With 4 hours to work with, the character development is better. here are several pathological character types portrayed, such as the amoral twenties-something, the shy, fat girl, the horny philandering Head of Personnel, the pushy mother, the alcoholic father who can't communicate, etc.

A few quibbles with the writing. Why Natalie isn't caught sooner by a sharp auditor checking the telephone charges is something beyond my understanding of the business world. Probably the British Society of Chartered Accountants should sue? As for the photography, I've drive the road from Bristol to London and it's never been as empty as shown in this movie.

This was my first time to see Tanzim Outhwaite in a drama. This actress is one of the coldest, most sinister and manipulative movie bitches I've ever seen. You just know the bitch is putting on Liam Cunningham when she offers sweetly to turn herself in. Hopefully, more of her craft will be shown on this side of the Atlantic.
