...Polaikoff’s pre-occupation with the ‘magical world of waste’ seems odd by today’s standards...this hasthe flaws of an early work by a major talent, but the cast, locations and downright obscurity of the piece make it an interesting watch in 2024… Go to Full Review

desmond d 01/08/2024 Some interesting elements and talent deployed, but the film displays the understanding of a highly educated 12 year old who has never left the house and was born in 1910 in the way it conceives of its characters, their lives, the way they interact and talk, and how basic everyday business and adminstrative tasks were carried out in the mid 1980s. Unfortunately, this makes the film completely unbelievable, and I am not referring to the wild conspiracy theory which appears to be a distant central plot point that may eventually be arrived at. See more 07/18/2020 Long drawn out story in great need of editing and a reason to care about any of the characters on screen or in the secret films. The only reason to see it is to see a young sexy Charles Dance. Poor Poliakoff who just can't quite make it into Jed Mercurio's league of thrillers, no matter how much money the BBC throws at him.
