Finally another review for MS:

Not the greatest dramatic presentation, nor the funniest of comedies. Rather an average film, a true mixed bag in every sense of the word, despite the intriguing and stil fairly topical substance. Damn fine good old fashioned British acting though, as could be expected. This was the last film shown in the now deceased Provadja theater in my home town of Alkmaar. Not the best swan song imaginable, but a far cry from a wasted evening. As for the lack of arthouse now plaguing Alkmaar, events have been set in motion to remedy that, and I'm happy to be a part of it. Hopefully those in need of finer, more thought provoking cinema will soon be able to get their occasional fix again. If I have anything to say about it, better titles will be made available, though there's bound to be a few disappointments down the road (well, sorry!).
