Seven Lucky Gods

Let's get the ending over and done with first. I didn't believe that after the events at the stately home that Adrian would have been fooled so easily. If these events hadn't been so extreme, then I could believe in his trip but as it is, I'm afraid I can't.

As for the rest, I can believe every word and scenario. I've met hundreds of guys like Mehmet in both my personal and professional life. Amoral, bisexual, unfeeling, using their bodies as a weapon to ensnare and entrance, lying, everything subsumed in the quest for that passport and the essential prior residence status.

Nothing is too low for these boys. Nik Xhelilaj portrays this perfectly, his outward beauty concealing a black and evil heart. Not one person is spared, not even "Mama".

The screenplay was intricate and the dialogue believable. The acting was top notch. A couple of scenes jarred. I don't believe that Adrian would have taken Mehmet to the Garrick Club either, however discreet the staff and other members were meant to be.

Overall though I enjoyed this and would have given eight stars were it not for the ending and those couple of niggling scenarios.
