Saw the movie yesterday and enjoyed it in places but left overall with the feeling that the characters could have been so much better developed. Was it me or was Daniel Craig still in Bond moody mode? The opening really did drag as we given an insight into Joe's lifestyle over in the USA. Did I hear a dodgy twang in Emilia Fox's accent? Anyway, there was scope for so much more, especially if you consider the popularity of recent throwback series such as Life on Mars. The section centred on the whole beach holiday thing did work quite well. The ending was left hanging as far as I can see - what did he write to make Ruth bawl so loudly over the din of the M25? So, yes, I enjoyed it but I want to know about the chronology - was it set in 1972ish, as the clothing would suggest, because if so that would make Daniel Craig nearer 50 than 40. Wouldn't it? It didn't spoil the enjoyment though. Go and see it and make your own mind up.
