A one-man genre
By a customer from Edinburgh , 03 Dec 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
This was a bit disappointing - it was not cinematic enough, but was really a good two-part TV drama on the big screen. Afterwards, as I began to think about the plot and the characters' actions, it began to seem more and more sloppy and far fetched, so despite an excellent performance by the main cast, and some good drama and some thrills... it does not satisfy.
This certainly wasn't a thriller, and the politics were almost absent. It was, firmly and clearly, a Poliakoff piece: big houses, English toffs, family secrets, revelations... children and old people, old photos... yep, more of the same. Has the great P run totally out of inspiration for something new, and doesn't he have the ability to do anything with the good ideas he does have any more?- Was this review helpful to you?

(126)Not Worth Watching
By filmspotter (32 reviews) from Perthshire , 02 Jun 2013The first 30 minutes of the movie were fine then the plot fell apart and parts had disjointed, unexplainable scenes and half the actor's characters became wooden all of a sudden. Almost like watching a bad French film where they throw odd things into the plot for no reason. And what was that whole scene about with the baby?!- Was this review helpful to you?

Did not cover themselves in glory
By Bobsview (559 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 11 Mar 2013Early WW 2 film about Nazi appeasement. Pretentious and contrived film that lacks credibility. Plot is just not believable. Wooden acting.- Was this review helpful to you?

Liked it
By a customer , 03 Mar 2013If you like Poliakoff you will like this but probably not his best. Worth a watch though if you like his stuff- Was this review helpful to you?
