    An absolute gem! Amazing performances from both Tom Hardy and Benedict Cumberbatch. Wonderfully scripted and directed. This great piece of British film is charming, sad and very funny. I would not only recomend this but also insist that you add this to your list.

  • Hardy at his best

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    This is a thought provoking, touching and even humourous in places film, it plays out without over sentimentality or emotion, partly due to the exceptional acting of both Tom Hardy and Benedict Cumberbatch. Hardys betrayal of Stuart is an acting masterclass. A great piece of work.

    Amazing film! If you love quality acting and a deep story, this is the film for you. This really shows the versatility of Tom Hardy's acting prowess, I truely dont think anyone else could've played Stuart in a more disturbingly brilliant way. Will be purchasing this film for my dvd library.

  • The Best Actor Award goes to Tom Hardy

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer , 25 Mar 2013
    One of the most touching films I've seen in a long time - more so because the story is a true one. Tom Hardy is without doubt one of the best actors around and frankly he should have had an Oscar for his role as Stuart Shorter.
