    Angry

    Izi is a very angry man, it's quite difficult for me to watch it because of that. His constant anger and need for confrontation really gets under my skin and aggravates me. I'm like "Just calm down mate!".

    I couldn't associate with either character actually and got very bored, very quickly.

    I generally like it when they don't make a fuss out of the gay element (By that I mean having to explain it or deal with coming out), but this barely even skimmed over it. I buy the BOF DVDs because I like to see stories that reflect my life at least vaguely, but this was just dull and uninteresting, very grim and grey.

    056.85/1000.
