    Interesting tale but far too slow

    If it wasn't so slow it would be an intersting tale. Atfer 1hr 45 mins i gave up. There is far to many pointless shots and long lasting scenses with no point.

    Rated - 3 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    The town where nothing happens

    People move and talk very slowly in these streetlamp-lit rainy streets. There is a sense of nothing to do and nothing to hope for. Into their world there arrives a briefcase of wet banknotes, followed by a dubious English Police Inspector. The discovery brings no joy, just an unwelcome complexity. The lives of the characters are precariously reliant on scratching a bleak and boring living in a world well away from any possibility of happiness or redemption.
