If anyone likes Liverpool actor Stephen Graham. I came across this film it's not a blockbuster but it's very good. It's called Boiling Point.

I started to watch it last night, but gave up after maybe 20 minutes. If it's going to improve I might give it another go, as I do like Stephen Graham.

Thanks for the tip.

I watched this film two days ago and it was dreadful, it appeared to have no script. I like Stephen Graham but the film did him no favours.

I really want to see this but I don’t have Netflix. I was listening to Mark Kermodes ‘Screenshots’ podcast on BBC Sounds and the one I was listening to was about one take films. It must be so stressful for the actors and even more stressful for the cameramen!

It’s a kind of fly on the wall documentary film as I said it’s not a block buster but I think very good acting.

I saw it in the cinema and thought the acting was superb. It is dark though and quite depressing . I think a lot of the film was improvised, so it was remarkable for it to be a one take.
Very good, but not easy viewing .

We watched this the other night because we like Stephen Graham. It was difficult viewing but very good. I can see it wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea though.

We saw this a while ago. The Guardian had a rave review of it.

We stuck with it but thought it was dreadful.

Horses for courses and all that

It was truly awful. A lot of shouting and no story. Not Stephen Graham’s best role at all.

I liked it a lot, but only because I am a fan of his.
I also liked Windfall. - on Netflix.
