I watched this because it starred Colm Meaney, but I was betrayed.
This dreary one hour and twenty minutes piece concerns a hoodlum, or is he an undercover cop, a cop or is she an undercover hoodlum, and a priest, or is he an undercover soldier.
There are no redeeming features, attractive personalities, in fact, no one to identify with at all.
Not even the father - son and father - daughter dynamic is explored beyond a bland statement.
There is tension in the "will the telephone work, and who will speak with whom when it does?" The conundrum of who holds the power is defeated by the equal possession of equal looking guns.
This is an arty stage play, filmed in a single location, with no expense spent on elevating a chess endgame to the screen. Was it worth it? I think not.
