Test T @TestTest1 07/25/2024 I watched this on DVD recently. I quite like Steve Coogan's comedy at times, so I had high expectations for this film. It's not terrible, and the outlandish business of providing an alibi service sounds interesting. The cast are a talented group and the locations are pleasant, so you would think this film had all the right ingredient's for success. Sadly, there are some serious issues with the recipe, and the film that has emerged is quite plain. It plays more like a lightweight TV movie, than something you would see in the cinema. The story starts off ok, but steadily gets more and more complicated until I found myself loosing interest in it, and the repetative sound track also started to irritate me towards the end. The film's main failing however is to have signed up a comedy star to play a mainly serious lead role. Yes, there are odd quips littered around in the script, but nothing really to allow Steve's talent to shine through. As a result, he looks out of place, delivering straight dialogue which is just too ordinary for him. Whilst the film is watchable, I was disappointed, and can't recommend it.

Funny, clever and a great watch... as far as caper films go. See more 03/07/2013 I hadn't heard of this movie but it has an impressive cast and intriguing story. I enjoyed it and think that most people would...it's a silly crime caper sorta thing and they do it very well. See more 10/04/2012 This is a film good to watch when there is nothing else to watch. Mildly amusing and has some entertaining characters but others are dumbed down too much. The premise of the movie was creative but was obvious in giving away the whole plot. That is forgiveable if you have some really comedic scenes but nothing was good enough to make up for its predictability. See more Read all reviews
