Actors: Steve Coogan, Lena Headey, Emma Gilmour, Susan Jane Tanner, Iain Mitchell. Not enough effort goes into fleshing out the characters, though, and in particular Lena Headey as Coogans policewoman girlfriend is far too thinly sketched to seem convincing.

  • Mediocre

    Absolutely fine film but Steve Coogan is not as advertised, the new Peter Sellers. More like Mr Bean. Pleasant enough watching but not worth a second viewing. Not for me.
