      Steve D The camera work removes a star for me. Solid script, great work by the cast and it is almost unwatchable due to the ADD style filming Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review Mfonakem A The next worst thing you can see after having a rough day! Worst camera work I've seen. Definitely not referral worthy Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member While I was watching the film, I felt like stopping watching it several times, because the first half was awfully boring. It is a tragedy and its ending was unpredictable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Me gusta el guion. Pero los interminables movimientos de camara hacian que mi cerebro no pudiese relajarse ni un momento. No hay en toda la pelicula un plano en el que la camara este quieta. Llega a marear y producir nauseas al espectador. Satirico y rompedor guion queda eclipsado por la mierda del movimiento de camara. Y Malcolm McDowell, mi adorable Alex de "la naranja mecánica" hace un papel normal y corriente, no deslumbra por su actuación. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member a fasinating look at fleet street, the newspaper district in london, set at one of the papers, simon callow, is a editor whos also having a affair with his boss wife who also works at the paper, and also in line with callow for promotion, while at same time a inportant piece about the royalfamily emerges, and conflicting interests arise as to wether they should run the story, so a little backstabbing emerges. a great look to this film hand held and ery jerky, really takes you into the action of the office, topical debates brought up, which brings this film into todays world, malcolm mcdowell great as the boss after his own interests, and jennifer jason lee, great as the out of her depth american having the affair, confirms all we know and think about the tabloids, in the uk, really bad, Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The worst film I have ever seen! Probably OK and with some quality actors but the hand held camera and editing is as badly done and as intrusive as it could possibly be. Avoid as if your life depended on it!!!

      Empire Magazine Rated: 2/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Derek Elley Variety Visually exhausting. Sep 20, 2005 Full Review Ray Bennett Hollywood Reporter A dreadful misfire that assaults the eye and offends the ear with a scattershot cinematic style that suggests it was made using David Letterman's monkey-cam. Sep 20, 2005 Full Review Miles Fielder The List There's enough going on in terms of plot and (roundly spot-on) performances to drive this fine addition to the newspaper movie sub-genre to its malignant conclusion. Rated: 4/5 Apr 27, 2019 Full Review Kaleem Aftab The List Rag Tale is packed with unseemly character who by sheer force of the performances are far more fascinating than the ludicrous plot. Rated: 3/5 Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon An intriguing set-up and a strong cast are completely squandered by a ludicrous plot and some truly atrocious camera work that renders the film literally unwatchable. Rated: 1/5 Oct 8, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
