    i only heard of this film by chance, and i am so glad i saw it. the film drags you in and you go through a journey of many emotions. you will be sad and happy. the story is tragic however there is careful humour and wonderful performances by all. it plays on the paranoid world we live in but at the same time shows hope.

  • Very moving

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer , 06 Jun 2013
    I've come to the conclusion that most reviews are written by men (usually young), who don't want to deal with life's emotions. This film explores the issues of grief and guilt very realistically, and my husband and I were very moved by it. I would recommend it to mature adults.

  • Terrible film.

    Rated - 0.5 stars

    This is probably one of the worst films I have ever seen. Terrible script, cardboard acting and completely devoid of anything remotely engaging or intelligent. Utter waste of time. What on earth were Williams and McGregor thinking signing up for this?

    Awful film

    What can I say it starts off with all the markings of a good film, the plot loses its way, the photography is good and its quite raw filming, shame it loses its way and could of had a lot more to the film. Pity really as could of been very good.

  • An intelligent emotional drama dealing with difficult material.

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By MattJamie (7 reviews) , 26 May 2013
    The poster makes this look like an action thriller, but it's actually a serious emotional drama, framed by a terrorist attack on London. Some people may find the treatment of the story difficult to handle but I thought it was intelligent, thoughtful, bold and well played.

  • more of a fizzler then an explosive

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By leezo (2 reviews) , 23 May 2013
    The script and stupid accent Michelle Williams puts on ruins this film. Apart from the accent she plays the part incredibly well and proves her chameleon esq versatility once again. McGregor plays peripheral role which I found most annoying as I he is one of the finest actors around. They could and should have made more of the story line about the missed interception of the bombs but they didn't, If you want to see a good portrayal buy Ms Williams then this is worth a watch but unlike the films title don't expect to be blown away by the storyline or script.
