Two Graves

I was reluctant to watch this film, having read negative reviews, however without having any better alternatives and, being somewhat intrigued by the moral lesson implied by the title, I thought I'd give it a chance.

The film is not what it first appears to be, and I found myself initially sympathising with characters whom I later found appalling, and vice versa.

I don't usually review, but felt compelled to warn others who might be considering wasting their time with this 'movie' . This is a truly terrible film, perhaps the worst I've ever seen. Acting... storyline... direction.... all abysmal. Avoid.

First of all I have to say this is actually okay, and I am quite fussy. I suppose as I am British I do like British dramas. And Katie Jarvis is quite a charismatic screen presence. She may be restricted to parts for londoners, but then you could say that of Jason Statham.

A very predictable and dull movie where every character is very unlikable, shallow and generally idiotic. Accordingly I had no interest in the well-being of any of them and watched the story plod through to its dreary end. Dozens of silly old cliches - including the ancient one where two characters grapple - with one of them holding a gun, it "somehow" gets fired, they freeze instantly (like inexperienced actors and directors believe gunshot victims always do) and we wait to see which of them has been shot. The whole story is this unimaginative and unrealistic.And identically, ANYONE who gets shot in the this trashy movie freezes in shocked silence.

The frequent, gratuitous, deep bass sounds inserted for atmosphere are ridiculously amateurish.

I regret wasting my time on this move, giving it a rating of 2, which means I watched it to the end and despised it. (1 is reserved for garbage that I stop watching before it ends).

Enjoyable British flick with some gritty acting which showed some really unpleasant characters. Plot was dark with some twists dragging you through the dirt they had found themselves in. Cathy Tyson and Katie Jarvis worked well together making the film rumble to a crunching ending 8/10
