Title: Very, very shallow
Product review: Director Danny Boyle and screenwriter John Hodge have proved that they make a great team on their others films like "A Life Less Ordinary" and "The Beach".But, this first film of theirs -- a moody thriller about greed and mistrust -- completely misses the mark. I never found myself caring about any of the three main characters and I was quickly hoping that they would kill each other and end the movie.Danny Boyle shows off his brilliant camerawork in this debut film, but the unfocused story seems to enjoy showing us just how gloomy the weather in Scotland is.The camerawork and editing shows, once again, that director Boyle works well with restrictions and a small budget. But, this story is so poorly written that the film is difficult to enjoy.Avoid this film, and check out the filmmakers other, better films.
