^This cover has bog all to do with the film, but hey ho.


A so-so film that feels a bit like those reconstructions that you see in documentaries to stop it from being entirely talking heads, all strung together to feature length. While it looks OK, the low budget does add to the charm. The boom mic bobbed into shot more than once.

Some of the performances were really good while others left something to be desired. Contemporary expressions are always a concern of mine in these period dramas. Thankfully nobody said &quot;OK&quot;. One expression that jumped out at me was the expression &quot;bang on&quot; (though I&#039;m not 100% sure it wasn&#039;t used then). Speech patterns felt very contemporary at times though.

They erred on the side of taste when it came to showing Jack&#039;s handiwork, which was all to the good. However, they balanced it out with lots of titties (weirdly, one shot of a sex worker bouncing on top of a main character in the trailer below appears to have CGI&#039;d&nbsp; a black dress on her).

Plenty of liberties taken with the facts, I suspect. But it was watchable enough. I especially enjoyed the whole Gary Ewing subplot with the alcoholic character becoming convinced he must have killed these women he knew in blackout. Naturally, this comes with a big 21st Century twist.
