An Inspector Calls

1hr and 30 minutes of my life I will never get back. Worst acting ever Mr Birling was off his rocker it was a shambles. Mate I cried halfway through the acting was like listening to a cat screech. Like....

This is well-produced and the crew know what they're doing, but the cast is out of its depth. Looks like a vanity project and isn't worth your time.

I'm not even saying this just because I studied the play, this is absolutely horrific in every conceivable way, one of the worst things I've ever laid eyes upon. Watching this makes a 10 hour testicular torture session from Hades look like a spa day. I wanted to pour disinfectant on my eyes for every soul suckingly horrendous frame of this steaming pile of dung. What an absolute heap of visual faeces. I wouldn't wish a full viewing of this tripe on my worst enemy. The fact that this won best ensemble cast is beyond me, if this is the best, the worst must be a group of decomposing corpses. I wish nothing malicious upon the cast and crew, I just pray to every God that has ever been believed in, that they never attempt anything like this ever again. I've seen better acting from a parapalegic cow.

You can definitely tell that the actors tried there best in this version but some of the performers, such as John Farries for Arthur Birling, are just not convincing and his acting is quite frankly cringe-worthy. The only decent thing about his performance is his more mild manners compared to his social superior and wife, Sybil. The best actor on set is probably Jason Farries as Gerald Croft. Sheila's and Eric's performance were decent as well. As it turns out, most of the younger actors are the ones who did the better job. The dialogue as well seems to deviate from the original script to an extent. Inspector Goole's temperment is off and is not assertive enough. Overall, it's okay and great that it's free to watch on YouTube but it's definitely not the beat.

Absolutely appalling, totally unconvincing performances by every single cast member. Loosely based on the great JB Priestley play, this film is a very pale imitation.
