Title: Awfully boring.
Product review: The costumes and art direction are very good, but the characters are very stale and boring. The main character, Mr. Steerpike, is a mad ambitious conniving Hamlet-like character. The actor who plays Mr. Steerpike, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, is embarrasingly bad. The overacting in the movie is so awful, I am ashamed to admit that I watched through the entire production. I have not read Mervyn Peake's series on which this movie was based, but I can absolutely recommend reading the novels instead of watching this sorry piece of filmaking. What a waste of time, talent and money! Barf!
