Firstly the film such as it was is OK, in that it has a plot, an actor, some scenes, some limited action, some suspense, plenty of anger,deceit, double standards, arrogance,etc etc etc.... But and it is a big BUT..road safety for anyone in this world the fact of life is people who have the use of a mobile phone will use it...the law says:
Using mobile phones when driving: the law
It's illegal to ride a motorcycle or drive using hand-held phones or similar devices.
The rules are the same if you're stopped at traffic lights or queuing in traffic.
It's also illegal to use a hand-held phone or similar device when supervising a learner driver or rider. Penalties for using your phone while driving
You can get an automatic fixed penalty notice if you're caught using a hand-held phone while driving or riding. You'll get 3 penalty points on your licence and a fine of £100.
Your case could also go to court and you could be disqualified from driving or riding and get a maximum fine of £1,000. Drivers of buses or goods vehicles could get a maximum fine of £2,500.
The same could be a cause on a hands free device, for me this film was made by fools...for anyone who considers this is OK to do is asking for trouble...sad that millions may see it, this will perpetuate the myth that it is OK whilst driving...rant over

See the beginning, sleep, wake, turn off...if only I had done this...So we see a very predictable plot unfolding before our eyes, the acting is almost wooden...there is so much gun fire from guns which seem inexhaustible of bullets...we see armoured men blasting away with machine guns, unable to hit a barn wall...the "kung foo" action sequences are staged...not amasing...this is what I would describe as a "B" movie, the one before the main feature...to give it a 2 is actually more than deserved...To sum up is what I said at beginning, see the beginning, fall asleep, wake turn off...don't waste your time or money going to see a film which perhaps should not have made it from the cutting room floor..
Having seen the Graham Norton show a few weeks back with Carey Mulligan who plays (sissy) the sister to Michael Fassbender (Brandon) the sex addicted guy in the lead roll of this film, we thought that Shame could be worth watching...Oh what a disappointment, OK so we see plenty of the "sex act" done in quite a tasteful way (ladies and some guys will love the frontal shots of Michael Fassbender (Brandon)considering what is seen on today's media...but the whole film just left us wondering what the f*** is this all about...far from great acting by Michael Fassbender (Brandon) Shame will leave you wanting more, but not really sure what could have been improved, maybe make the film shorter, lets say by 60 minutes!!!overall less than what we expected given the hype...seems to be that way nowadays?
