It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Without a doubt, this is a fantastic film. Jude Law puts on a fine performance only to be overshadowed by a typical, Ray Winston performance, he is just brilliant!!! I watched this film and I was gripped from beginning to end. I had no idea where it was taking me, but it was a journey well spent.I didn't want it to end, I looked at the chapters on the DVD while watching it, only to discover, I was on the last one, :-( I was very disappointed, I wanted more and more.Not everyone cup of tea, I suppose, but it's certainly my flavoured drink.10/10

I am a huge Jude Law fan and have seen most of his movies. I bought this movie from Amazon.com used and was sadly disappointed. There was no real plot and the acting was sub-par. Jude was barely in the "movie." This was more of a documentary then a movie, with the plot being a man making a movie of his friends from hidden cameras throughout his home. At certain points is was borderline nauseating as a woman sits on the toilet tinkling for well over a minute. Honestly I can't believe that Jude subjected himself to this punishment since the opening was his obituary and wake! If you are a Jude fan or even if you aren't my advice would be not to waste your time and money with this movie. Even if Jude Law wasn't in this movie I would call it one of the worst movies ever made.

After watching 'Love, Honour & Obey' (one of my favourite films!) I was really looking forward to watching this. It has the general same cast minus Sean Pertwee and Jonny Lee Miller and a couple more. The theme did sound excellent and a must-see from its cover. When I watched it I did feel quite disappointed. I'm a big fan of Jude Law and Ray Winstone and while they acted as tremendously as ever the film seemed to lack a certain spark and Sadie Frost's acting was quite disappointing also. The movie also seemed to be very cheaply made which is more evident in the scene where Jude Law's character is murdered! There are some comical moments in the film that make it worthwhile anyway! The concept was completely original and refreshing in that sense but in a couple of places seemed to have no logic. I did enjoy this nevertheless and will continue to watch it in the future and would recommend it to most people who like the substance of Brit flicks...I would just tell them not to hope/expect too much from it or to take every part literally. However, an enjoyable little number with some particularly sterling acting from Ray Winstone!

The premise of Final Cut is interesting. A man (Jude Law) diesand leaves behind a film for his friends to watch at his wake. Hiswife (Law's real life spouse Sadie Frost) is the Mistress ofCeremonies at this screening but we find out later that she ismuch more than that. The performances are riveting and the slowbuild of tension is tittilating but the pay off is a little disappointing.some of the violence and shock is laced with a sense of humor atfirst but soon it gets very serious then downright careless andcallouse. It is hard to root for any of these characters to succeed.They seem to have no redeeming value so when something badhappens to them you are relieved but the punishment is so easilyshaken off. Lots of mischief, revelation and loss but no hope orredemption.
