Review by rickblaine34

I don't think I've ever seen a film that takes itself so seriously, and with nothing to show for it. What should have been a 20 minute episode in a series (tops) was painstakingly lenghtened to a full picture which is a total bore and which utterly fails to contribute anything new to its subject matter. Gillian Anderson was a pain to watch at her half-baked attempt to look and sound like Thatcher. And I still cannot understand why we were 'treated' to seeing Sam the booker's face at close up for absolutely no reason for what I assume amounts to more than half the entire running time of the film. All in all, I think it was a total waste of time.
