Quotes

Sydney Evans: How can you not see how alone I am?
Joe Hunt: I do! It's this town! It's this town. They build you up to tear you down. You're never good enough. You know how hard it is to keep my stories straight?
Sydney Evans: What?
Joe Hunt: The BBC is full of cash. The BBC's flushed out. Ron Levin's gone to New York. Ron Levin's gone for good!
Sydney Evans: What are you talking about? What does that even mean, "gone for good" ? Where's Ron Levin?... You know what? I don't wanna know.

User Reviews

Kind of true story based movie

Story is based on true events. Characters are interesting but portrayed without much depth. Casting on the other hand: Emma plays another same character. Kevin carries the movie. Egerton show really great performance. Ansel could step up a bit but good acting.
