The Glass Man

The acting is horrendous, the film is slow!! This is not one to watch. Their are much better films out there with similar story lines that have amazing acting in and are not so slow. I really would not recommend this film to anyone.

One of the worst films ever from the start. I gave up about 3/4 way through - i dont know why I lasted that long. Its Completely silly.

For some reason it says my review is too short so I have added this.

I actually watched the full film just to see how bad it got. Nothing made sense and pointless scenes. Boring boring boring. Nothing explained. Even why he got sacked at the start. Terrible wooden acting.

As this film has only had one screening so far at The Empire Leicester Square as part of Frightfest 2011, I consider myself one of the lucky few who has seen it.

Andy Nyman plays Martin, a proud but failing hamster of a man, who's gone from well paid middle class Exec to suddenly but secretly unemployed, debt ridden failure. His trophy wife (Neve Campbell), friends and ex colleagues are unaware of the hole that he is. Nyman acts this so convincingly that you found yourself literally cringing as he struggles to maintain his dignity while all around him are stripping him of it.

The film could have been slightly predictable from this opening scenario but it was not. I can't add much further without risk of edging into spoiler territory but can add that there are moments of comedy within the tension that are a welcome relief.

The ending is great and we found ourselves talking about it afterwards in terms of minor events that happened early in the film that became relevant as the film concluded. It is filmed with a very real-life feel to it which makes all the more disturbing.

Best film I've seen at the cinema in ages.

Lead character was good and believable but supporting cast was weak as was the direction and lighting. The movie began well but lacked pace after about 30 mins
