Oh dear, don't view this if you want to keep Downton Abbey in your mind...
but hate to say it...I didn't like the story line but shows what a good actor he is...hated him!

I've just watched it...that's another hour and a half I won't get back.
It's not something I'd recommend...

I just watched doing the ironing

Wasn't great

Apparently it's the No 1 in Netflix films in the UK today...hmm

Gave it 15 mins. Life’s too short.
Like his short hair,though.

I put this on my list. Looks like I’ll be taking it off ?

It’s a bit grim! ? How will Hugh Bonneville ever be able to be in Paddington again, if there’s another one?!

I enjoyed it. A really terrifying watch. Reminded me of Psycho. I stopped watching Downto Abbey after the first few episodes, didn't rock my boat. Although I usually enjoy period drama.

Tried to watch it but switched it off, liked his short hair though and he’s lost weight too. He doesn’t look much like his character in Downton ( which I love) anymore.

We saw this yesterday and really enjoyed it. Very dark though.

I really enjoyed it. You have to get past the first 15 mins, which don’t give a flavour of the film at all IMO. The plot was daft, but no more so than many films or TV, and I was on the edge of my seat for a lot of it.

We enjoyed this!

We thought it was good too, agree quite a daft plot but so many films are these days. He is a very good actor though, l prefer him in Paddington, which l loved.

Watched this film last week and thought it was quite good, not what I was expecting when I saw the cast list.

I liked it. Great to see Hugh in something so different to Downton abbey. A bit grisly but enjoyable.

i Watched this a few days ago as a friend wanted to.
I hated it and felt very upset by the finish.

I would not recommend if anyone is at all sensitive. Just don"t.

Doodledog went with your suggestion of giving it 15 minutes and you were right!

Enjoyed it.

Beechnut Wed 07-Sept-22 19:59:33

I changed my mind after reading your reviews. Phew!

Chrissyoh Wed 07-Sept-22 20:03:33

Loved it ?

GrandmaKT Wed 07-Sept-22 20:43:34

A friend was just recommending this to us! Will give it a go....
