This was a good wierd movie. Yes it starts slow, and is actually slow throughout the movie, but I think that was the way it was suppose to be. Leave it to the English to make psychos so sophisticated. If one sits down and watch it all the way through like I did, they will enjoy it.

I attempted to watch this movie but it started off slow and I didn't see where the movie was going so I just stopped it before it put me to sleep.

In the beginning this movie had my attention and I was interested. As the movie progressed it took on a very poor quality. I think the whole concept was difficult to enjoy. People using people and making it right in their world was offensive. Not a good choice for me. I did watch the entire movie.~~G
