Conclusion: 3/5
Watching this made me think how awful London is. It didn’t paint a very nice scene of London like some other films do that are set there. It all just looked so grim and bought the worst out. I do think that this is Ben Whishaw’s best acting. All the way through this film I couldn’t take my eyes off him. I thought his whole performance was mesmerising. I have to say that I believed in his character. He made the whole thing look so easy but there must have been a lot of skill involved to do this performance and carry of what he did. I enjoyed the directing in this by Aneil Karia. Before I started watching this I expected the film to be something else entirely. I found this to be a very well made film.
