Review of Shallow Grave (1994) by Ann S — 04 May 2008
Before he made the masterpiece that is Trainspotting Danny Boyle made this mish mash of black comedy and thriller-ness. I kept meaning to see this but never got round to it. Maybe I just knew I would be disappointed coz it aint very good.
It's all a bit too silly and not in a good way...no real discussion is made before they do what they do and a short scene would have been enough to lend a bit of credibility to the rest of it all.
Obi Wan is good but seems to be going thru the motions really and Dr Who is creepy but as it goes on he seems more and more like a caricature. Its all a bit plodding and goes thru the motions til it reaches its conclusion which while neat and a bit surprising doesnt make up for the previous 80 minutes.
Nah, not good.
