Going into this film I thought it would be a bit of mindless fun with explosions and guns. I was wrong. It was mindless but not in a good way. The camera work was shaky, obviously trying for a gritty, we-are-there feeling but it doesn't work, you just miss bits and feel nauseous. Continuity is another problem but that is minor compared to the awful acting from all involved. Honestly, what self-respecting film would include the lines 'If you can't do the time, don't get involved with the crime' and 'If they didn't do time with us, they don't do crime with us'? Colin Farrell was so bad it was scary. I do rate the man as an actor but he was more wooden than a 5 year old in a school play. Jamie Foxx wasn't much better. The nude/sex scenes were tacked on, surely for the cheap thrills although they didn't deliver any of those.

One final point. How can a major Hollywood production, in 2006, produce such a big gun battle that was still boring? This kind of shoot-out was the reason I went to see the film and it was so bad I was rooting for the bad guys. The so-called gritty reality was obviously meant to show how the good guys were prepared to cross boundaries but there are boy scouts that have committed more crimes than these two.

The next time anyone wants to make a gritty, hard-hitting film that shows there are no good guys watch Sin City and realise they have done it far better than anyone else could.

this was an extremely bizarre show; a bloke and his badger do weird things. each series was set in a different place (a school, a zoo, their house), each packed with secret tunnels for badger and mousie (a later character who irritated me). most of the action revolved around badger coating bodger with mashed spuds, laughing like Frank Bruno, then doing it again. kid's tv, but not of the magic roundabout ilk - no fun for the rest of us. (I was 6 when it first played).

I have watched every Bottom Live show and own copies of three of them. This is the least good of the lot. I say least good instead of worst because it is still extremely funny. I do think it could have done with a better ending though. Overall I think it was very funny and I can watch it over and over just as I have done with the others. It falls short of the others by only getting 7 out of 10 to the 9 and aboves but still a very worthy effort.
