Negative Positive
Title: Low Budget
Review: This is a low budget mystery non-thriller. On the positive side, there's no sex or violence. Indeed, there isn't much action to speak of at all. The plots involve little more than the tedious succession of characters that, at the end, turn out to be someone else. Try reconstructing the plot after you've seen it crash into its inevitably boring climax.The photography is wretched, with many face shots almost into the nostrils and lots of traffic scenes to pad out the required time. A little white spot appears in the upper right hand corner of the screen for several minutes at a time. I don't blame the photographers for that, however. That would require ingenuity.The hero is barely more than a faceless bureaucrat, his sidekick might be a zombie (and how about that wig!), and the comic relief focuses on an office worker who doesn't work much! Music? Was there any? The directing is strictly on the amateur side. In short, save your money or watch Frost, Morse, and Gently over again.
