      Audience Member Frustratingly disjointed (even for an anthology) and ugly to look at, Tube Tales is a movie that you'll want to forget quickly. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Liked the denise van outen, vomit and ray winstone stories the best, thought Ewan McGregors story was pants Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 9 short stories centred around different peoples lives on the underground. Nothing outstanding but some fine actors here and gives some like bob Hoskins the chance to get behind he camera and do some directing. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Was a good fun watch...a mix of stories with lots a good British actors Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a collection of nine short stories centred in and around the London Underground, known by the locals as 'The Tube'. Each story has a different director which makes for quite an interesting feel to the film. It was originally made for TV but I don't think that detracts too much from the quality of the piece. There are some well known actors involved in the project, both from film and (UK) TV. These include, Jason Flemyng, Dexter Fletcher, Simon Pegg, Sean Pertwee, Liz Smith, Denise Van Outen, Don Warrington, Rachel Weisz and Ray Winstone. I particularly liked the performances of Denise Van Outen in 'Horny', Don Warrington in 'Steal Away' and Ray Winstone in 'My Father the Liar'. Although all the performances were pretty good. Over all I found this a bit hit and miss. Some stories were great whereas others just failed to hit the mark. It's still a very watchable piece, but, I suspect, one you'll only watch once. I should warn you that there are a few pretty gross things that go on down there, so I advise not watching during a meal. My two favourite segments were 'Rosebud' and 'Steal Away': Recommended, especially for these two. My score: 6.2/10 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member this film was all over the place so made it hard to even enjoy. and i didn't. it's a who's who of english actors and the stories were weak and just did not flow. not that much fun.
