The Worst Film Ever
A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
