Sideshow

This dark British comedy is about an old, down on his luck, psychic who has to rely on his stage craft (or possibly real psychic powers) to fend off two robbers who have broken into his house. If you're a fan of British comedy then there's a lot here to enjoy. There's a good cast with a nice supporting role for Anthony Head of Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Giles fame, the script has plenty of twists and turns, as the cat and mouse plot unfolds over the course of a single night and there's a nice, final, final twist that will catch most by surprise. The opening does take it's time, setting up the characters, but it also sets up lots of future revelations which pay off later in the film. Overall it delivers enough laughs, suspense and intrigue for a fun and enjoyable evening's entertainment.

'Loved the film. Really well acted, directed and beautifully filmed.

Brilliant! Just brilliant! Definitely worth a watch and is very well made! If you think this is your type of film, give it a go! Excellent story and just shows how good a film can be!

Completely unexpected gem. I can't see it being widely appealing, but its combination of dark humour, plot twists and excellent acting was a real treat.

Quintessentially English in its layout, but completely left field in the best possible way.

Four principle actors all turn in an excellent performance and first class writing. Plus Les Dennis - I wouldn't have expected it, but clearly he deserves a thumbs up. Well done chap.

I liked this little Brit comedy film. It was funny, witty and a little dark. Spot on acting and story with a decent end twist. I just so wished the ending had a little more after story because of the twist. Overall all a very decent watch, that will not disappoint.
