Welcome to the Snore
24 March 2013 | by (Jersey,UK) – See all my reviews

Really bad...really bad! I give it 3 because of Mark Strong. But, this should not be the reason for rating a film - a great actor! Maybe it was me but I couldn't get to grips with the actual story line/plot.

"hm...what is this film about?" 10 mins "hmm...I wonder what this film is about?" 45 mins "What is this film about?" 70 mins "I don't get it!" 90 mins The one scene that was pretty interesting was the scene where the ex.military returns and finds his granny held hostage. "ello gran..." Some great slow motion shots, and pretty nice dialogue - but that's it folks! Severely limited.

Dull. Long winded. Pretentious.

Do not watch! Demand better!
