    Bewildered

    I watched the DVD last evening and found myself for the first time on hundreds of films fast-forwarding through most of it.

    How in heavens' name can it be said that these were secretly taped scenes when half the time the subject is making google-eyes at the camera like some 12 year old?

    I really think I may have seen better home videos of kids' birthday parties (surely more genuine). (Or was the 'tinkling' in the bathroom supposed to be some kind of 'high spot?')

    This tripe really makes my blood boil...

    This film is utter, utter tripe.

    Self indulgent nonsense - how on earth did they get anyone to finance this? Or did they do it themselves? I would guess the latter - if anyone other than cast has invested in this rubbish then I would imagine they are, quite literally, sick as a dog.

    I can just imagine them all sitting down together saying 'Oh, we're the cream of the British film industry - let's do something all together! Don't care about script or plot - let's make it up as we go along! As long as Jude and Ray are in it, the public will pay to see it!'

    And Law and Winstone really do give the only half-decent performances in this crap. Winstone almost looks embarrassed - as he well should.

    0 out of 10.

    An interesting, but not great, film.

    There is one word I can use to sum up this film: weird. It's one of those films that, even though you're thinking it's really quite slow and boring, you can't actually get up and walk out of it because it is nevertheless still gripping. Not a film I would particularly recommend for anyone to spend their hard earned cash on, but not as bad as some reviews have made out. It would probably be better watching it in the comfort of your own home.

    My last review...

    Overall, not a bad watch. But I've seen this before. And before... and before. Some good performances. Nothing great. This movie confirmed that I've seen it all. No new ideas. The technical aspects are beyond my reach. I've rarely looked at movies that way. A story is a story. There are maybe 10 of them anyway. Goodnight... and Good Luck.

    A Beautiful, Dark Cloud with No Silver Lining

    The premise of Final Cut is interesting. A man (Jude Law) dies

    and leaves behind a film for his friends to watch at his wake. His

    wife (Law's real life spouse Sadie Frost) is the Mistress of

    Ceremonies at this screening but we find out later that she is

    much more than that. The performances are riveting and the slow

    build of tension is tittilating but the pay off is a little disappointing.

    some of the violence and shock is laced with a sense of humor at

    first but soon it gets very serious then downright careless and

    callouse. It is hard to root for any of these characters to succeed.

    They seem to have no redeeming value so when something bad

    happens to them you are relieved but the punishment is so easily

    shaken off. Lots of mischief, revelation and loss but no hope or

    redemption.

    • Trivia
      All the characters in the film (except Tony, played by Perry Benson) share their forename with the actors playing them. This gimmick was repeated in the directors' follow-up film, Love, Honor and Obey (2000).

      Jude: Who was that? What was she doing? Well, I might reveal it... and I might not. I have to keep you on the edge of your seats. You see that's the joy of making a cutting edge film. Real life on celluloid. Stay tuned!
