The good: photography is excellent, especially the scenes at the ice rink, and the performances by the actors is superb.
The not-so-good: the plot is a little confusing and contrived in places, and the lawyer's character comes across as a a rather ineffectual blackmailer, compared to Dudley Foster's character who exudes false charm and greed. However, for me, at least, just he atmosphere and performances make the film very watchable.
The film includes scenes filmed at Stretham Ice Rink, Britain's second-oldest ice rink, opened in 1930, sadly now demolished to make way for yet another Tesco supermarket. One for fans of London landmarks.
