ebayhammer's rating
I have to agree with Sebastian Noyes this is an awful adaption of the book. After hearing about the film I tried to see it. It took me over a year to track it down. It seems it was extremely hard to sell to a distributor and Behrens was extremely overprotective on who released it. ... I now know why.
The direction by Behrens is inept and lacks any form of atmosphere that you find in the book. The book has real characters. This does not. The direction of the actors was awful and most performances are not only wooden but not in the least entertaining. Trying to follow the character's story was like walking through treacle.
The cinematography was extremely poor for a film with a 2 million dollar budget. This is what you get for 2 million can you believe it? I felt sorry for some of the actors because I have seen some of them in other films and they are actually good actors and they acted well and convincingly in their characters in the other films but not in this film with this director.
In this film, it is hard to feel any empathy for any character. It drifts along in ineptitude. "Adrift" in Soho ... ironic.
Those who gave it 9/10 or such scores must be in it or work for Behrens. I cannot think of any other reason. It is interesting that some of the phrases used in the reviews are used in the press releases.
Use the 100 minutes of your life to do something else. AVOID.
