The Loss Adjuster

What a shame to see a British film with a reasonable cast fail so badly. I have rarely seen a film with a plot that is so slow, weak and nonsensical. The film lacked any punch whatsoever.

The acting in the film is truly awful. The main character is so over acted it's painful and the rest of the cast give little feeling for any empathy.

Some of the scenes tried to be dramatic and poignant but failed miserably, as did the point of the whole story. Even the twist at the end was so obvious it was telegraphed.

The narrative structure of The Loss Adjustor has all the integrity of the Columbia space shuttle coming into land, and much like the ill-fated craft, finds itself staffed by many otherwise great talents with no escape and falling fast.

And that won't be the only laboured aviation metaphor you're in for if you make the mistake of watching this thing.

However, if you are going to watch this, (and I suggest you find something better to do with 100 minutes of your precious, finite time on Earth), at the very least don't buy it with money.

After all, as Abi Branning, (freed from the shackles of EastEnders yet apparently condemned to an eternal cycle of locking up a North London florists), says to the titular Loss Adjustor, "there is no dress rehearsal in life". And honestly, when it comes to this production, you assume that to be true in more ways than one.

Many familiar faces here, Great actors all working to the best that was on offer.

Unfortunately, it looks like the budget was spent on the cast and little else. The script was a little flat and one level, no real highs or lows and lacking humour.

The soundtrack, same problem, like being stuck in an elevator and the production, scenes, camera work, had that kind of amateur feel. You know, the awkward camera angles and echo in the room.

You know what the film wanted to achieve, but was ultimately let down by dreary script, dreary soundtrack and production that had a somewhat amateur feel.

What a disappointing film this is. Terrible acting and just dull. This storyline could have made such a better film with the right cast. What a waste of money to rent . I was expecting much better after all the hype. Just don't bother watching it .

Having seen the trailers thought this was going to be a feel good Christmas movie. It was not! In fact I'm not sure what sort of movie this was besides a badly acted one with a story that jumped around and was confusing. Luke Goss was so wooden, yet we know he can act maybe the Rom com is not the right genre for him. As for all the other characters in the film we didn't really get to know them and how they were relevant to Martin. Such as shame this film had such potential.
