This is a British film about a man who has worked his way to the top of his life and wants to be left alone but isn't. This British young man is played by Tom Hiddlestone and this movie was made before he made his name playing the character 'Loki' but it was always going to be difficult to watch this film after seeing him as 'Loki'.
Hiddlestone is Hiddlestone in this film. He is remotely attractive, physically fit, young and he just plays off of it. He was this character before he was 'Loki' but there is very little difference between his performance in this movie and his performance as 'Loki'. This movie is like Wolf of Wall Street meets American Hustle. I found it really boring and completely uninspiring. I found myself longing for a star performance and there wasn't one. There was nothing special about this movie. I spent 50p on it and now it is going back to a charity shop because I will never watch it again and it isn't worth a place in my movie collection.
Even Luke Evans is starting to take on characters that all have a similar personality. He needs to think about what they all have in common and then take on a role that is totally different because otherwise he is going to be like Tom Felton and become not only stereotyped but totally unable to be anything else than his typical character and therefore ruin his career before it has really started.
