One of Helen Mirren's first......I suppose everybody has to work their way up from the bottom.

The writer and director of this nonsense did go on to write one of my favourite movies, Runaway Jury. So that's something I suppose.

The action is stilted, the characters unbelievable, the plot simplistic and the production quality is poor.

In a few years, Mirren would go on to have her breakout role in The Long Good Friday which is not too dissimilar to this in look and feel.

Just a word about the ridiculous climax the hinges on whether or not a child wants to run away with his mum. Must have sounded great on the page because it was laughable on the screen.
