An Early DDL performance. I'm glad he took a misstep this early in his career. Other than DDL the film is a complete bore. Nothing in the movie is interesting(Theme, characters, technique) and it relies solely on the final minutes which, again, wasn't interesting. Hell, it was a misstep by BBC standards. Watch it just for DDL.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
