Book Keeping will never be the same.
By Gareth Murray from Belfast, Northern Ireland , 10 Feb 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Remarkable, a Billy Liar for the modern era. This is one of the most stunning debuts from a British Director in years.
Ever wanted to get even with those who endeavour to get in your way, well Christy does and whats more he keeps an account of anyone who dares.
Superbly performed by Moran, Stulke, and Ashfield the film also includes a cracking sound-track from Luke Haines.
An absolute must.- Was this review helpful to you?

By a customer from UK , 23 Jun 2008a poor film by any standards. but given the brilliance of the source material (b s johnson's classic novel), i'd say this dismal adaptation is one of the biggest missed opportunities in modern cinema.
gone is the wit and verve of the book. instead, christie is presented as a monosyllabic, joyless misanthrope.
i dedicate the one star i am obliged to award this dvd to the underside of the disc itself, which was nice and clean, and apparently unsullied by the horrors digitally encoded within.- Was this review helpful to you?

Quite Bizarre!
By CreditonJules (205 reviews) from Crediton , 21 Nov 2006This was a very strange movie and you often couldn't tell the difference from Christie's warped mind or the actual plot of the movie!
However it helped my get my head around Double Entry (I've just started a bookkeeping course)!!!!- Was this review helpful to you?

Make that a debit
By SamFromMaidenhead (257 reviews) from Maidenhead , 21 Jan 2006What an incredibly odd film. It starts off well with the concept that life requires a balance, so that for every negative happening there should be a positive happening. The same principle of double accounting book keeping. This is how Christie Malry begins to live life - extracting a negative / positive happening to counterbalance whatever event happened to him. So it was a shame the film ended up all political and a bit...well..crazy really. A path treaded before with Fight Club. The acting by Nick Moran and Neil Stuke (he from Game On) are commendable but they weren't really given much to play with. The film is spliced with a backdrop story about Leornado Da Vinci which I suppose is to counterbalance Christie Malry's own story so that the film itself is 'balanced'. Not one to recommend unless you are into films that are far from contemporary.- Was this review helpful to you?

Christie Malry's Own Goal
By a customer from London, UK , 26 Sep 2005I guess a cross between 'Billy Liar' and 'Fight Club' would be the best way to describe this, although not as good. The general storyline is good, but the whole Da Vinci thing tended to confuse matters somewhat and i felt that the film would have been a lot better without it. Worth a look.- Was this review helpful to you?

Not as good as it could have been
By hrhpod (32 reviews) from Edinburgh , 22 Mar 2005This film suffers from a bit of a lack of dicipline. The concept is fantastic (especially if you work in accounts - it's every quiet clerk's fantasies) but the film doesn't quite deliver on it's promise -it's just a bit too unstructured - a bit too vague.
Ultimately, it's ok but nothing to actually rave about. Could have been better.- Was this review helpful to you?
