Title: Dreadful
Product review: I purchased a DVD of this film in PAL format. The presence of Nigel Hawthorne, one of Britain's greatest actors, attracted me. Alas, the film is one of the worst turkeys I've endured in the last two decades. The writing is completely baffling; when the film ends the viewer has no idea who the main characters really are, or whether or not they are even alive! The acting, Hawthorne aside, is extremely weak. The heroine, in fact, is just barely an actress at all, spending most of her time in the film making teenage facial expressions and strutting about in tight-fitting clothes. The director....well, that's perhaps the saddest part of the film: seemingly endless shots of gore and cruelty are interrupted by clips of past and future events in the story that flow by at breakneck speed, leaving this viewer dizzy and angry.Murder in Mind was filmed in Los Angeles, and it must have been shopped around to all the networks. That only the Brits would bite is revealing.
