Reviewed by: David Haviland

Lee Evans plays a suspected murderer - yes, that Lee Evans - in this British thriller, pitched as a Cracker-style mystery, shot in Matrix green monochrome.

As a short, it might have been impressive, with a consistently grainy, stylised look and some visual flair.

As a parody, it has potential too, combining a ludicrous plot, wild overacting and disastrous miscasting, generating a number of unintentional laughs.

As a feature, however, it's woefully inadequate, yet another British film that somehow managed to raise considerable funding, despite being well below the standard of television.
