The Loss Adjuster

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.

A total waste of time.

Don't expect feel good, don't expect musical numbers despite the cast's background, and don't even expect much Christmas.

Expect arguing, confusion, a dead rat, bad scipt, terrrible acting (and even worse accents), and some terrible photoshop images over the end credits.

The only slight positives were some nice shots of London and Beverley Knight singing over the closing credits.

Rewatch amything else rather than watching this.

Don't really know what this was trying to achieve but it failed. Awful script, turgid story arc, terrible acting, 2 dimensional characters, predictable scenes. Lost interest after ten minutes and didn't get it back.

Honestly one of the worst films I've ever seen. It was quite painstaking to watch despite such a high profile cast. The only plus side was it was so bad it became entertaining . Most of the acting was terrible and as for the Aussie accent. Surely they have Australian actors in the Uk? Hilariously bad film but strangely captivating in its horror. Lovely to see London looking beautiful and of course incredible to see the stunning Joan Collins looking as striking as always. I apologise to the few actors that could act and to be fair given a better script maybe it wouldn't have been so hard to pull off for the rest of them

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.
