  Mr Nasty goes soft
  
  A so-so film that could have been better if Kevin Spacey's character had not switched so unrealistically from Mr Hyde to Dr Jekyll.

  Enjoyable but predictable
  
  Enjoyable and easy watching. The performances were good but the plot is quite predictable. Worth a watch but wouldn't go out of my way to see if again.

  Just Meh !
  
  Ok for a rainy afternoon when there's nothing on the tele. Spacey doesn't really excel here. Plots a bit silly also. It's just alright.

  'Arms behind my back'
  
  Coolest film I've seen for a while. You can kind of guess where the film's going, no major surprises, but I could definitely watch it again and enjoy it... read more »
