      Audience Member I'd love to see a sequel to this. I still think Charlie is an agent! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Fine music sets the tone in the opening scenes and continues throughout the film. The acting is superb making you believe in the story that is just a story. As the film opens up the true dilemma is confrontational and very sad and realistic. Get your tissues ready as the melancholy and truth reveal themselves. A film of this financial period and history that many will relate to. Nibbles: Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Justin Kerrigan's unfairly mauled, deeply personal follow-up to the excellent Human Traffic is admittedly ridiculous with it's ludicrously audacious opening scenes sitting uncomfortably with a sourly unspectacular punchline, but Carlyle and Fuller are excellent, while Kerrigan's nostalgic direction is quite often hilarious. A flawed but likeable effort. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Whilst the Director's personal ambitions are probably to be lauded, tonally this is an absolute mess and never really works. The ambition seems to be to portray a Father's mental illness through the eyes of his child, who at first believes and enjoys the games he is playing but finally realises his illness once things turn sour. The performances are all over the place though and at times it plays like Grange Hill with a 70s funk soundtrack. It's pretty much an unmitigated disaster which is a real shame. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched this, due to being a Carlyle fan, and that is all I think this would appeal to. A very different film for the 'Human Traffic' director, this film's plot is somewhat odd and quirky, explaining itself at the end. Carlyle is good in this, as a paranoid ex gangster, who has relocated with his son. When the dad slowly loses it, the truth to the situation comes clear, with all not as it seems. A clever plot that leaves you thinking 'oh right' and thus for most will be a pointless journey. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Charlie (Robert Carlyle with a dreadful accent) is Jamie's dad (played brilliantly by Aaron Fuller). It's difficult to describe what is going on without using spoilers; Jamie has to work out what is going on in his father's mysterious life.

      Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard Kerrigan never quite gets the tone right and the film suffers from what looks like a lack of finance in certain areas. Rated: 2/5 Apr 15, 2010 Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian I'm not even sure it quite survives a calamitous opening half in which the script toils to prop up Charlie's increasingly ornate flights of fancy. But it is certainly ambitious and heartfelt, dappled with moments of ragged glory. Rated: 3/5 Apr 9, 2010 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Fundamentally harmless, though it rather tramples on its own period authenticity -- why all the Steven Soderbergh-esque funk-scored heist sequences? You may be nonplussed. Rated: 2/5 Apr 8, 2010 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall With a strongly nostalgic tone, Kerrigan gives this subtly understated thriller a provocative emotional kick. Despite a slightly contrived script, solid performances make the film both haunting and thoughtful. Rated: 3/5 Apr 15, 2010 Full Review Philip Kemp Total Film Justin Kerrigan's first feature since 1999's Human Traffic is based on his own relationship with his father; no wonder it's so harrowing and deeply felt. Rated: 4/5 Apr 15, 2010 Full Review Jamie Russell Radio Times Intrigues but doesn't satisfy despite thoughtful performances from Carlyle and Fuller.
