Final Cut

Eleven friends gather at the wake of a successful writer Jude (Jude Law). His wife, Sadie (Sadie Frost), explains that Jude was making a film detailing all of their lives. She forces them to watch the film, which makes some startling revelations that eventually pit husbands against wives and friends against friends. The film then ultimately produces some rather shocking facts about the circumstances surrounding Jude's death. Directing/writing duo Dominic Anciano and Ray Burdis, who also star in the film, chose to name the characters in the film after their actor counterparts, blurring the line between fantasy and reality to disturbing effect.

    Disappointing

    Probably seemed a clever idea at the time. A bunch of luvvies making an 'experimental' film about making a film about watching a film of sorts - all too self-consciously pretentious for my taste. Not terribly well acted: in contrast to one reviewer, I didn't think Sadie Frost did too badly, but Jude Law I found painful in this, and even Ray Winstone was rather unconvincing outside his almost trademark effing and blinding outbursts - in fact most of better acting came from the lesser-known players. One reviewer remarks that if you liked 'Abigail's Party' you may well like this. Hmm. There is some similarity - 'Abigail's Party' was brilliantly written and performed, and at times an excruciatingly funny piece; this film, however, was mostly just excruciating. OK, it's not out and out tosh, but really, I wouldn't bother.

    Get this film

    This film is a subtle, reality style true british movie. If you like london set british films then get this out. Gritty and true to life with a number of sub plots this is a good twist movie.
