Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
... View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

... View MoreI watched this on Netflix last night and it was a case of what shall i watch ? i couldn't be bothered to go through all the thriller list so i just chose the first one that was there,and this was it. I wasn't expecting much from this film as i could tell straight away that it was made on a low budget.But i was so wrong this film is brilliant ,its tense,gripping and keeps you wondering all the time what is going to happen next.It is full of twists and you cant help watching and wondering how it is all going to end.The two main actors play their parts really well,their two characters are very different people and would never be friends normally,but Tony the security guard is such a lonely person that he is willing to trap ,stalk and blackmail someone into being his friend.His a very sad character but also very creepy.Sandy the other man is a well off TV celebrity who has a habit of kleptomania ,Tony catches him in his shop and ends up blackmailing him into being his friend. This is basically the plot of the film but what follows you don't see coming.Its a very unpredictable film which is what i like most about it and i never guessed the ending either.
... View MorePatch Of Fog stars Stephen Graham in an immensely creepy role and Game Of Thrones own Conleth Hill. The general theme, stalker which let's be honest has been done to death but there is always more to add and Patch Of Fog proves that.With an interesting twist to the concept both leads bring fantastic performances to the plate and really knock it out of the park but somehow someway I was left feeling very uncomfortable by the whole thing.Arguably this is what the creators were going for but for me it was a bit much. Wildly unpredictable, mostly well written and with a couple of neat ideas I would have enjoyed Patch Of Fog a bit more if Grahams character had been dialed down a little.I've actually had not one, not two but three stalkers myself (Not even joking) An older gay gentleman, a much older lady who thought I was her late husband and a deeply psychotic girl at college who used to beat the doors of the classrooms I was in until the police pulled her away. One time she even told a lecturer to back off, she knew kungfu. For this reason I understood the leads plight but maybe I didn't like it as it caused Vietnam like flashbacks for me. Yeeeek!
... View MoreAs with some other reviews, I will agree that it was stretched in length and could have been shortened. There were some lulls where I found myself wandering off and then, wham!. Good thing it was on Netflix so I could rewind and catch up. We took turns guessing the ending only to find out we were both wrong. I did not see the resolution coming on this one which is rare but very welcomed. Hard to write a review and not give any spoilers, so I will leave it at this. It's one worth watching and the actors were well chosen.
... View MoreA nice little story taking place in urban northern Ireland using some of the seasoned cast of game of thrones and perhaps some of the crew involved too.Nice to see the group staying together and completing other projects in between game of thrones. Something similar happened last year at tiff with the Fargo TV crew and "Cut Bank" (Fargo 2.0) starring John Malkovich as the rural sheriffHigh production values. Clever,well spoken dialogue in a first full length feature from a young director who previous did some short film submissions at tiff.Well worth seeing. Cleverly done and enjoyable to all. Interesting Q&A afterwards. Thanks to all that attended.Mike
