Dim the Fluorescents (2017)
What a waste of 2 hours
Such a disappointment. Unappealing characters, no development, stilted dialogue, awful direction and needed far more aggressive editing. Long panning shots of tall buildings; how fascinating! Ending completely predictable and boring. I'm sure the 2 leads will have long successful careers as tertiary quirky characters in straight to streaming films.
Page Eight (2011)
Cookie cutter plot
This is another in a string of British TV shows and movies that have a very simple belief system, which is very fashionable amongst the writing classes in the UK.
1) Israel is evil 2) America is evil 3) British politicians and civil servants who don't agree with (1) and (2) are evil 4) If only the British people knew the REAL truth which is being kept from them by (3), they would all believe (1) and (2)
If you believe 1-4, you will surely enjoy this film. If you don't then there really isn't enough substance or acting to keep you entertained as you look beyond this lovely world view. What a waste of a solid cast.
