Ben Wheatley (2) (1972–)

Fantastic script and acting make this incredibly dark story quite compelling. Hoopla bills it as a dark comedy, and there are a few moments that made me laugh, but there's really nothing funny about it! I could single out almost every cast member, but star and co-writer, Robin Hill gives a performance you won't forget--and his father in the film is his real-life father, which adds to the gritty realism. I could go on to praise every other cast member as well. There are some truly gruesome show more shocking moments here--not for those with a weak heart--but highly recommended. show less

A simple, but engrossing and memorable, crime thriller with healthy helpings of black comedy, taking place almost entirely at the scene of an illegal arms deal in 1978, where something is about to go terribly wrong...

Really not sure how I feel about this one. Inspired or insane? I need a little more reason for why they wouldn't just leave. It will be interesting to see the movie, and honestly Tom Hiddleston reading it, and being in the movie is the draw for me. It is well written for certain, I just don't quite feel their need to stay.

3.5 stars. The audio read by Tom Hiddleston is really good. He does a really great job with the different voices for all the different characters. Pretty crazy book though!
