The Near Room, a British crime drama in the noir tradition, tells the story of reporter Charlie Colquhoun (Adrian Dunbar), a man who finds himself the prime suspect in both a kiddie porn ring and a murder. Hired by his ex-wife, Charlie begins his own investigation looking for his daughter, Tommy, whom he gave away as a baby. He discovers that Tommy is the crucial link in a kiddie porn ring run by Clegg (Peter McDougall), who was a former employer of Tommy. Several murders occur, and Charlie finds himself fighting for his life. The film combines social issues with the noir view of the grim reality of life. The performances are uniformly good, and director David Hayman moves the story with an eye to detail and character, making this an above-average crime thriller. ~ Linda Rasmussen, All Movie Guide
