  How slow can you go?
  
  This is just really slow. Very very slow. Lots of looking longingly at each other and not a great dull of action or suspense. Generally dull. Avoid

  Very poor
  
  Seemed very slow going, thought it might be worth the wait but no questions answered at the end. Just a bit crap really.
