Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good start, but then it gets ruined

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Made redundant Paul {Andrew Humes) life is a mess. While out running he meets John (Mark Arnold). They strike up an unlikely friendship and things seem to take a turn for the good. However, John's behavior becomes erratic even obsessive taking Paul on a more sinister downward journey with unexpected results. Higgins brings us a tension that simmers just beneath the surface holds our attention. A visually thought provoking film with sold performances from the cast makes this movie worth your time.

I loved this film - a gripping story, beautifully told. There are some stunning scenes of London and some incredibly poignant moments amid the thrill and horror. It's so lovely to see east London shot with such love and care.I love the way it leaves some shades of ambiguity and questions that stay with you long after you've watched it. The acting is great, particularly the sinister but somehow still sympathetic runner.Love it, can't wait to watch it again. Highly recommended!

An unsettling thriller with some genuinely scary moments that I didn't see coming and had me jumping out of my seat! The acting was excellent, the hero a totally believable ordinary bloke of the sort you might work with or live next to, placed in a sinister situation which again, you could imagine yourself being drawn into unwittingly. The film develops an atmosphere of creepiness, claustrophobia and menacing psychological dysfunction which is enhanced by contrasting expansive views of the London's riverside, where which much of the action is set. Mark Arnold as John is really scary and threatening- he'd make a very good Bond villain! There are some surprising twists and a really satisfying ending.

This is a great film. It's such a pleasure to see a film where all the elements come together as perfectly as they do in Mile End. Great casting – I enjoyed the contrast between the leads: one of them so self-contained and desperate to break out of the limiting and mundane nine to five world he finds himself trapped within; and the other so open and genial on the surface but ultimately looking for a 'friend' to drag into his murky, dark and dangerous world. Arnold particularly gave a convincing and expertly controlled performance as the troubled and damaged John. The clever writing created a totally plausible relationship between the two of them and the tension built steadily throughout keeping me gripped to the end. I loved the photography and those big London vistas - good to see the East end for a change. And I only jumped out of my seat once! Would definitely recommend this.
