Small Time

We loved this film for its thoughtfulness and quiet charm, dealing as it did with matters such as friendship, love and loyalty. All the performances are great - even the irritating Chick is a good study in greed and arrogance. However, in the last 20/30 minutes the makers ran low on money or inspiration and the focus was lost. Son Freddie more or less just disappeared and was only heard of via a letter at the last minute, and the final few minutes seemed rushed and perfunctory. Still a great film though. Recommended if you like films without ten car chases every minute and explosions all over the place.
