Couldn't get into this film at all. I usually love" period pieces" which show localised social entropy, especially Brit-related. Helen Mirren was brilliant as usual - but as for the rest of it - very "meh"!

This is a handsome but rather pointless remake of a 1948 film, which was based on Graham Greene's first novel, a pulp fiction thriller.

The year is moved up to 1964, so it can coincide with the notorious mods vs. rockers street brawls that occurred then. Riley and Riseborough are good, and Helen Mirren is better. The sets are lavishly put together and nicely photographed. The story focuses on a rising young gangster and his relationship with a young waitress, whom he marries to keep her from revealing something she knows. Mirren plays the ex-girlfriend of a murdered man looking to even the score and, maybe, to protect the young lady. it is well-made but nothing out of the ordinary. Expand
