Death on the Tyne

Follow on from Blackpool. A bit of silly nonsense but amusing.

The original 'Murder on the Blackpool Express' was quite a pleasant surprise of a film in all honesty and this sadly however is a bit of a step down from the first. Keeping the 'core' of the cast and switching up location and plot crux it's refreshong whilst still parodying the basis where it came frome. A bit rushed and less fun to some extent than its predecessor there's still a fair amount of charm intact, obviously no blockbuster but for an "English low budgeter" it's a decent try

I can't imagine this set out to be a great work of art but I found it really enjoyable. What's more, the cast seemed to be having a good time. If they do a third in the series I will be sure to watch.

I am absolutely shocked with the low rating of this film. It is an amazing film, and well written. It had lots of stars I knew (Sheila Reid, Tony Gardner and many more). I think the bad reviews are because people clearly don't know the definition of the word 'comedy', if you want a serious murder mystery, get over to NCIS or Criminal Minds and stop throwing all the good work from everyone involved in the making of this.

Lets pro and con this and a quick summary :

Cons ; A ferry with about 20 paying passengers ?!?! The story line need you to use your imagination As with carry on films lots of cheese added

Pros : Amazing cast Very funny one liners and well acted Great use of a simple "who done it" and "carry on cruising" Simple story line that easy to follow and very funny

OK some review's have pulled it apart and other taken it on board for whats it worth and the fun value entitled when you watch.

Summary : Johnny Vegas is the Sid James and should you watch well if you want a laugh with a easy story line that had cheese and childish humour - then defiantly watch. If not your bag then I am sure the news will be on one channel.
