Kostas A Did you know that Alec Newman (Charlie) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (Rix) will appear together again on "Three Way Split" (2008)? "G:MT Greenwich Mean Time" made me cry... That doesn't happen often! Frenzy plot, really frustrating situations, innovating music! A hidden gem! I watched it on a Greek channel after hours, years ago... I first thought "Do I really need to see a modern English movie in the middle of the night" and "How on earth will these characters mix"? I was so mistaken; it kept me glued to my sofa! I hadn't caught the title when I first watched it, for I had lost the beginning of the movie... But thanks to IMDb, now I know where to search for a copy! Unfortunately it hasn't been released on DVD in Greece yet, so no Greek subtitles!
bruntsfield-two Late night BBC 1. Where would we be without it. Just caught this on what is now a Thursday morning.It's TV actors, TV writer and a TV director and as a result has a rather small scale TV feel. It's not Human Traffic. It is, however, not an episode of Casualty. Everything is done very well, nothing is too OTT. Most of the cast can act and have a script that doesn't kill them, which happens all too often with 'Gri'y Youf Drama'. Worth renting? Perhaps. Definitely worth staying to the end if you find yourself in front of it.And yes, the music is pretty good, especially the trumpet which is ABSOLUTE Genius!
Rabbit-41 Great viewing - young talent doing well. First third was a little slow, with the historical whiteness quite difficult to differentiate the fresh young faces. By the time the Beenz had met up with his old school friend who'd turned to less desirable habits - I hadn't remembered him for the school screans. Some gratuitous nudity - to support the young and free state of the team? The racial perspective was accurate, the paraplegic perspective also desperately sad but accurate, the music was fantastic, the plug for the Virgin air ambulance was quite commercial - a full frontal of the helicopter - in London, we'd have all known it was virgin's just by the red tail? The shootouts at the end were also a little gratuitous. I enjoyed the line about being able to see the garden. Pleased to have seen and would recommend others to see it too - should have been round longer. Hope it resurfaces to ride on the millenium wave in December.
Jabsy If you think this film is going to be another good modern British film to entertain you like Trainspotting, Twin Town and Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels...then prepare yourself for disappointment!The film has a very weak storyline, so much goes on that it is confusing at times and you never know exactly what period in time it is supposed to be...one minute they are sitting there chatting...next scene is 9 months later etc, very confusing at times! The film is much like watching MTV's "Real World" series and only seeing one in every three episodes so you never quite get a feel for what is happening. Overall the film feels like its trying to fill to much in, there are so many sub plots that you never really feel attached to any and some are just plain unbelievable. If the plot focused in on fewer characters then it could have been better.Some of the locations around London are well filmed but nothing really stood out. The soundtrack fits in with the atmosphere and theme of the film and is well done, although it wasn't "my cup of tea".The film it the biggest load of pretentious rubbish I have seen in years and it is not a film that I'd watch again. If recommending it to someone I'd tell them to wait until it was released on video rather than see it in the cinema. I should imagine the film will appeal to people in their late teens, any older then you may also be disappointed with the film.Greenwich Mean Time is certainly the worst film I have seen this year!
