Sliding Doors is one of those films that has a very clever concept you don't come across very often - so watch it. It really is very good. I recorded it on TV the other day, and after watching it, wondered why I'd never rented it out before. The acting is definitely above average, Gwyneth Paltrow gives a great performance, making the audience feel sorry for her didn't-catch-the-train character, and then thinking, "go girl!" for her character that DID catch the train. Her English accent is also excellent - none of that over the top pronunciation . John Lynch also gave an outstanding performance, he particularly shines in his first few scenes when he is caught in bed with Lydia (Jeanne Tripplehorn), his stuttering and panic is very believable. John Hannah was loveable as James, always chasing after Helen, and Jeanne Tripplehorn was entertaining as 'the other woman'. London life is caught beautifully in this movie, the soundtrack is great and it has a very clever, satisfying end. A real feel good movie!
