User Reviews

What a mess!

This was a big disappointment. Plot holes the size of a smaller planet, overacting, totally predictable and clichéed, bad casting and a totally unbelievable dialogue. And when I say plot, it's just to be polite – there hardly is one. The prison scenes – why are they in the movie at all? The court scenes – the writers must know less than zero about how the judicial system works. Suspense – what suspense? Humour – nonexistent. And the quirky old DI who sleeps in his office... He's supposed to be a legend, "the best" – but we see no evidence of this. On the contrary, he fails miserably...

I sincerely hope the book is better, because this is Bad with a capital B.
