Freeze Frame

Director John Simpson
Genres Thriller
Run time 99 mins Certificate 15

7th March 2005

This one reminded me a lot of Darren Aronofsky's 'Pi' in the sense that they were both extremely creative with the use of cameras and technology and created a world that exists within and beside our own. Unfortunately the script just doesn't come up to scratch and lets the film down - it reminded me too much of an episode of some crappy ITV drama like Wire In The Blood. That said the director shows great promise in terms of style and it's great to see a British film that is trying something new rather than trying to ape Hollywood. (can anyone say Mel Smith...?)
