Pleasantly surprised
This is one of the films that I added to my selection to pad it out a bit, without expecting too much of the film. Well, I have to say it was completely different to what I expected! Although it will not win any Oscars, this was a great little tale, tightly directed and played out well by all the actors. It is a tale of several characters woven round Liv Tyler's scheming 'Jewel'. It's a mix of humour and violence found in many contempary films - 'Lock Stock' and 'True Romance' to name two. Having said that, it is not like either of those films apart from the humour/violence connection, and the several story threads that all meet in the finale. Whilst I would not rate it as highly as True Romance, it's a very enjoyable ninety minutes for fans of the genre.
