Excellent thriller very reminiscent of Shallow Grave (1994) but better! It is full of twists, revelations and a shaven haven (but it fits the story so it's not gratuitous). The style is as brilliant as you would expect from Danny Boyle, punchy, fast, music is excellent. Love a crime thriller.

The film started off great.Typical Danny Boyle. Both my wife and I thought it was going to be a classic. The wife dozed off half way through it, suffering from bewilderment. When she awoke asked me to explain what had happened so far. To be honest, I had no idea.....I hadn't a clue. It was more like a jig-saw with lots of pieces missing than a straight forward movie. Sorry, Danny boy but for me, it was a No-no.

I saw this was going to be on TV, great names involved. Vincent Cassell! Danny Boyle! how can it go wrong?Unfortunately, in many ways.It started well but halfway through I just wanted it to be over. Confusing plot, waste of talent, style over content.I was going to say that at least it is visually impressive. It has the gloss and pace of an ad for a shiny new car. 100 minutes of fast moving colourful camera work. 100 minutes too much.Very poor. Watch Crimson Rivers instead.

Read my summary, everything is written on it. This is a 10 star movie and will ever be. Every actor is carefully selected and does his/her best job. Especially Dawson is a treat in all matter. Thx for one of my all-time favorites now. The script and direction are quite outstanding...genius James McAvoy is a real find for me...absolutely believable in this addict-driven person which can't find the way to the good side of life and destiny..congrat. Cassel..saw him as a kind of Luzifer in a french film..he's stil on this typecast, but does always fine on this. Dawson..i'm in love like every man involved in this film, what a body and soul...a real fighter...should get more and more of this kind of roles. Danny Boyle delivers most of the times...good films, not more, not less...this seems to be one of his best. Thx
