This is a film that you are supposed to like. If you don't then you are somewhat lacking. Apparently.
It is a well acted, well made film but very pretentious. Nothing of any great interest happens, all of which is supposed to build up the "tension" to the ridiculous shoot out.
The arty bits are rather dreary, although they are probably supposed to be metaphors for something or other that the Philistines won't get.
In 2004, Total Film magazine named it as the 16th best British film of all time.
They can't have seen more than 20.
