Bon Voyage

Dumbest, ham-acted nonsense that had me gripped, if only to see what ludicrous turn would happen next. Other negative reviews have covered the ludicrous elements of this 'movie' so I won't gold the lily. Absolutely embarrassing effort. Should've known better when 'Faye Ripley' is announced as the lead star, and she turns up with her shuffling norther housewife act. Ridiculous.

I thought it was very entertaining. The acting was allright, except for the fact the role of the sixteen year old 'daughter' was played by a middle aged woman...

Some wrong and stupid decisions and you got yourself a delicious, funny thriller. :)

As someone else mentioned, it was probably on a tight budget but it was still quite good

Bon Voyage is a very well made two part drama. It starts off at a fairly slow pace, but transforms into something much darker, the threat that is posed turning out to be much more menacing than first anticipated.

As it progresses, things begin to make sense, you kind of put the pieces together as you go along. There are times when you truly need to suspend all sense of reality, as a few things happen, which in all reality would never happen in a million years. A few things could have been expanded on, and perhaps explained a little better, but on the whole the story is very engaging, loaded with tension, and a few good scares.

It's well produced, and very well acted, Daniel Ryan is the standout performer here though, he's great value, as is Faye Ripley, who's very good also.

Don't expect reality, and you could really enjoy this gripping two parter, take it too seriously and you'll pick holes the whole way through it.

Overall, I enjoyed it, 8/10

An engaging example of the genre of TV drama/thriller. The Alders with their 2 children are on a camping holiday in France and befriend a slightly odd couple at a camp site who then keep appearing everywhere they go. The odd couple's son apparently goes missing and the Alders start trying to avoid the odd couple. Events take a creepy turn . . .

Without giving the plot away, all I would say is that this was a well acted and quite gripping drama and much more original than a lot of the 2 parters that are seen on ITV these days.

There are a couple of minor 'she/he would never have done that' moments but if you are prepared to engage with the suspension of disbelief then they aren't so major as to spoil the viewer's enjoyment.
