There's a high concept SF concept at the heart of this. The actual script is not so bad either.
But the direction (newcomer Nicholas Mallet) is weak and aimless. The performances are uncontrolled. Richard Briers is a skilled, experienced actor who should know better. Bonnie is shocking. Unreal and unrelatable, and annoying as.
Keff McCulloch's music track is just wrong. The DVD features a rejected incidental music by David Snell which is better but still primitive and poorly realised.

ReplyDeleteRichard Briers (The Good Life) and Clive Merrison (perhaps best known for The English Patient (1996) ) are in this too. There are some good moments in this one. Just not enough......The complet-ist DW fan will want to see this one.... just don't pick it first.... Pex lives(!)
