      Audience Member Not hooked by the story or delivery, but I did like seeing Billie, Matt, JJ, and Julie Walters (who made a great villain). Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Billie Piper (Sally Lockhart) could not act in this movie. She sleepwalked her way through most of the action and quite a few of her lines. I got the impression that the other actors were trying to "act" around her. The script wandered all over the place and lost me on several occasions. Hope this isn't a series...I won't be watching any other episodes if Piper is in the lead... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the better BBC-productions I've seen lately, although it's not something I'll be watching again.
