This is the kind of relational programming I have been missing. No over-acting, women with no unnecessary hysterics (we are not all hysterical, many of us react as humans, not stereotypes which is also true of men). Gemma Arterton (as one person said) did not act in a 'wooden way' in my perspective. Her character acted like a grown up who was working through the issues. I love how the movie moved through the storyline. I don't care for flashbacks usually as they can often confuse the story, so I was happy to see very little of that aspect. Although they can be done well at times. I enjoyed the ending but was sad to see that within a short time his sentence was reduced. Great story telling, a movie done very well with fine acting, in my humble opinion. Kathryne.

GA is a great actress, but not in this. She matches the very poor script with a phoned in performance. The source material is an interesting story, how a studio, director, writer abd cast could mess up this badly, really takes some doing. The final act is so preposterous its laughable. Avoid at all costs.

Ok movie. Poorly acted. Weak storyline. I would say it's very, very loosley based on a true story and the main theme of the movie is an invention. Watch it on a Sunday afternoon,hungover.

Fascinating movie with top cast. Very engrossing and emotive given the way likeable characters are manipulated and subject to disturbing treatment at the hands of a psychopath. This is very topical given nudge and psychological techniques were openly used on the population recently. The ethics of this need to be closely examined and this movie helps shed light on what is possible when trust is given to a third party who abuses for their own purpose. High recommended. 7/10.

Well, not great in as much as it was based on true events that made you want to throw the guy into a bear pit but I digress. The portrayal itself was done pretty well and ticked along with enough happening to keep the interest.

I love Gemma Arteton. I thought her major (role) involvement, combined with the synopsis, would mean an interesting film. The film was 15 minutes in and I'm saying, "ok ... maybe he's playing her but she's actually playing him ... there's no way Gemma is going to be playing an utterly pathetic and clueless character ..." The pace of the film. The writing. The editing and, ultimately, the direction of the film. Utterly turgid. Every single aspect of it was simply flat. Boring. Uninteresting. And I completely blame the writers and directors.
