Phoenix Blue

Look not every film can be as good as Lord of the Rings or Gladiators, this film had a real good English feel to it, I thought the acting was good. It was kind of like Notting Hill meets Cocktail.

Good easy to watch film, that made me smile and thats not easy, great film to watch with the girlie she will love the lead man, worth £3.50 at Blockbusters anyway.

Ignore the french guy's feedback, after all he's french !

The soundtrack was pretty good to, sort of Coldplay meets Busted.

Enjoy this film its not full of gratuitous violence and sex, the dysfunctional neighbour was really funny.

it's not as bad as mossman discribes. the reporter is a nice girl, she reminded my a little bit of meg ryan.

she isn't monotone at all... ok, the story is sometimes a bit unbeleavible , but i liked it. why has everything to be completely true? see it as a 3d

comicbook, that way a lot of socalled "bad" movies are worth

seeing! 7 out off 10

This film is not necessarily a complex story, but is most certainly i-candy throughout (with thanks no doubt to Director Tony Maylam, and Producer Simon Hardy, who is also credited with 'Sexy Beast')... beautiful locations, and cast as well. James Murray is surely a contender for a modern day James Dean. Amanda Donohoe is the baby sitter you wished you always had, and Emily Hamilton is one to either truly love or truly hate - but isn't that most journalists!?

Worth a look. Some wonderful underwater sequences, and great juxtaposing between the beauty of the Caymans and the misery of British winter! The film is swimming with production value, with some decent performances - including from Jason Hughes ('Ralph') who is very comical as the somewhat pervy computer dork next-door!

I rarely choose to submit a review on IMDb these days, but I want to warn people about this film!

A friend of mine hired this saying "it got a 7.9 on IMDb!"... well hopefully that score will be down by the time you read this, because this was the most painfully badly written and acted pieces of drivel I've had to sit through in recent memory (and my friend has chosen some real tripe at the video store).

Basically, a very corny tale of a journalist discovering a reclusive pop-maker who was set up during a heist a while back. The whole thing is unbelievable in every respect. The woman playing the journalist (not even credited in IMDb) has *ONE* expression and *ONE* flat tone of voice throughout the whole film (and got to be incredibly annoying even during the opening scene). The sound is poorly dubbed throughout. I felt sorry and ashamed for the actors I recognised, since I know some of them can do so much better.

Only two things make this more than a 1/10: pretty pictures of the caribbean and people free-diving (ludicrously tacked on to the story) and the music is passable, but don't watch the actor pretending to sing or it will spoil it for you.

That just scrapes it up to a 2/10...

Despite the previous reviewer negative comments, I saw this movie, largely because it starred James Murray.

That said, I ended up really enjoying it and have watched it repeatedly. Admitedly I wasn't struck with the lead actress, Emily Hamilton, but she did okay, and the support actors are wonderful. The scenery is very watchable and the story is exciting, without being too complicated.

It's not the best movie, or the most suspenseful or dramatic, but the music is great, acting top notch, and worth it just for the supporting cast.

As for James Murray......I could watch him in this again and again.
