    Could have been a much higher score.
    Last night for New Year's Eve I watched two movies back to back, as I had just come out of hospital and had to take it easy.

    The first movie I watched was The Apology. Now only knowing the basic story line and nothing else I settled down.

    The film contained roughly three actors or less at the most on screen, this can be good if there is any tension in the film.

    The two main actors, Linus Roache and Anna Gunn we're excellent in this, the storyline was interesting but what let it down for a much higher score? The script, yes this is what let this film down badly.

    Not even thirty minutes in and I guessed what had happened and why Roache was there, especially when he said ' I have something to tell you.' Well if you have many movies like me, you can guess the storyline straight away, having this happen so fast took most of the tension out of the film.

    Overall I enjoyed it but this movie. With the right script could have been a great film.

    Overall not bad to waste and hour and a half.
