Just under 2 hours.

Maybe Alythonian was allowing for trailers, credits, etc? And I did notice something on the website about "100 minutes from disaster" or some such reference, so I did wonder if that was an oblique reference to the length. If so, that would make it 1 hour 40, as you say.

Yes, sometimes multiple previews have their uses. Even I have a choice, which is practically unheard of. Andrews has also benefited from a 2nd chance.

I was expecting it to be 2 hours but shorter than that! I bet there will be more codes!

Well what can say, just returned from Vue Sheffield. The film was very enjoyable although ruined by the fact that the reals were shown in the wrong order that is, we saw the start, the third section and then the 2nd section, then the end. Everyone told the staff at the end that it was shown in the wrong order but she wasnt having any of it saying that it was free and 'what did we expect as it was a free film'. I am totally amazed at he stupidity and lack of responsibility of the cinema. She said that it was the first showing of the film and that it hadnt been checked and that there was nothing she could do, ie she was passing the book. Tut tut Vue not very good customer services. They should know better. I am thinking of emailing Showfilmfirst. Does anyone have any suggestions for me! I didnt want a free ticket I just wanted the cinema to take responsibility for the cock up as they are showing it again tomorrow night. I wonder if they will show it in that order then? Or maybe they could get someone to put the film in the right way this time.

I can't believe she said that I would email Vue not only about the film but about her behaviour; what a stupid response :x

I've just watched it at The Lowry very predictable but very enjoyable, some great acting by Denzel Washington, Pike and the lead female character. 8/10

On the day Vue's being sold off.... I guess hardly a surprise
