1:01:15 She’s right that no pictures would be suspicious, but would murder be your first thought?

Thoughts

This is another of those films that is really, very bad. Entertaining and fun to watch but not a good film at all. And considering the cast, it was a wasted opportunity really. It should have been funnier, should have had a stronger, less predictable story, should have been better.

Good to watch if you’re at a loose end and want something that isn’t going to make you think, at all, but I’m not actually recommending it to anyone.

Rating: 2 / 5
