Review of The Snake

The Snake (2006)
8/10
well spun yarn

I had read a brief review of this film and it was intriguing enough to get me to the cinema. There were only 3 of us in there and I felt people are missing out by missing this film. It was superbly acted. Maybe not enough people go to see subtitled films, hopefully that won't put people off this. There's parts they're not essential as the acting and shots are good enough to carry you through. I can see a Hollywood remake on the horizon which in a way is a big shame, but it would make a fantastic box office smash. Glad it was shown at my cinema on its own merits though. It's a great thriller and even if you feel there's no surprises (each to their own) it doesn't detract from a good tale well told. The only thing with the subtitles was a couple of spelling mistakes, one particularly made a totally different meaning.... apparently one character served in the 'Golf' War!
