Pete S @Petefilm66 Feb 16, 2026 Reasonably interesting plot, despite some others comments. Impressive performances too from Weaver and (even) Caine. But the real reason to love this film is that it captures London in the 80’s to perfection, almost like a time capsule from the city. And yes, I’m a Londoner so might be a little partial! Definitely worth watching. See more Steve D @RT35616104 Aug 29, 2023 The acting is far better than anything else involved. See more Jun 18, 2021 don't remember anything about this Except we watch a long time ago 20 years with family and Mom...they show so guys naked buns cute... but my mom was offended. John Wayne and Fred Astaire are her style. See more May 29, 2017 This movie is a want to be romantic thriller. If you watch the movie to the end (which I do not recommend as it is a waste of time) you must admit that the scriptwriter could not come up with a good ending and just took the easy path of choosing the obvious ending! See more Feb 8, 2013 Good performances from Weaver and Caine, and an interesting multi-level story. See more Jan 28, 2013 A very good dramatic thriller. See more Read all reviews
