"Take Two" never uttered
The acting is terrible, the plot is impossible to follow...as if they made it up according to whatever they were able to catch on a good exposure of film...and the sound track. Oy...the sound track. Trying to imply action where there is none.
If you enjoy schmalz, this might be for you. If you prefer viable films with something to say...avoid.
Winston forgot the jam pork rolls... Nailpork jam rolls to be specific....
He only eats from the Westbury mustard and his hair falls out in every scene so they kept gluing in the scene with his hair on so it's a bit repetitive.
My fabric television didn't have a good enough thread count to see the finer pixons, but I think I could make out little Jimmy Swimmson stealing my counterfeit flower press handle forgery collection and a house, which I live in. Now I don't know where I or my fake pressed flowers are. Small matters in the Grant Scales of Rings.
With his groundpenny thin as a weasel and the mouse door in keeping (tin and rum thistle excluded), the swimming lesson was complete. Jenny said toe, Murray said no. And the kettle drone foo makes us all better for it. And it continued on like that for a bit.
Back at Snailpork manor, a porksnail megapork snail was making its way across the isles of scilly towards a larger-than-usual pork drum snail aquaittence missile tactical coffee morning warhead, but it turns out it was just a tactical meganail pork medallion chamber containing 4 porksnails from the previous pork pail scene if you remembered them but you were probably too busy sniffing the sands. Pork nail.
Terrible script, awful acting
The film was described as an action thriller but there was very little action and certainly no thrills. The acting is at best, average; the script is risible and the production is cheap and tacky.
If you are tempted to watch this film, I advise you not to waste your time.
Very very bad!
A Sixties Curio
As for the story, John Carter( Sebastian Breaks) is implicated in a young girls murder, and along with Cathy (Virginia Wetherall) is forced by gangsters into posing for pornographic photos. The two leads are decent enough, especially Wetherall who would go not to appear in a few horror movies in the coming years.

Narrator: [introductory narrative] This, as you may or may not know, is London - headquarters of devaluation, socialism, and the permissive society. The people who live here are quite ordinary, clean-living, unostentatious human beings. And this is where the would-be non-conformists shop. This, on the other hand, is where the more knowledgeable shop, live, the more knowledgeable dine. To the uninitiated id, relaxation has a multitude of meanings. And even more of these for the older and more respectable members of our permissive society. Mr John Carter, the central character of the epic you're about to see could, under the circumstances, be described as a misfit. Having reached his prime in the days of rock 'n' roll, now nearing the ripe old age of 30, he's kind of old for Carnaby Street and not quite hard up enough for this. A small chapter in his quiet, mundane life starts here on a warm evening, for December, and in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
