They had synching problems at the premiere Celine had to get up and complain I guess the 'celebs were too plastered to notice

I've no idea what the O2 turnout was but, it was in the Sky Superscreen, whilst Avengers Assemble was in screen 7

Wsn't THAT bad. Must admit that after the speech sych issues (seems universal) I was rather embarrassed for my +1 as the first 2/3 of the film were rather dull. The final 1/3 really took off as the story revealed itself. If only the whole film could have sustained this amount of action and suspense. The film certainly had potential but was never realised. This should have been addressed at the storyboard stage. What were Raymond Winstone and William Murray thinking?

The girl twin was Effie from Skins btw.

I'm going to stick my neck out and give this a 5/10. Mediocre but could do better.

Billy Murray was sat two rows ahead of us, Kimberly Nixon was directly in front and John Simm was too far away for me to grope sadly

I agree with McG, this was a very strange film. We also had problems at Liverpool 1 with the synchronisation of speech at the beginning.

The best parts of the film for me were the outfits and hairstyles that Ruby Gammon wore. Loved them.

The character Dylan Parker was suitably naive and geeky, but Jamie Winstone's Elfie was too old in parts to be a believable teenage amateur detective.

3/10

Ruby looked liked Paloma Faith, I too loved her outfits.

We had the same problem at Trafford Centre with the synchronisation at the beginning, but just when it was starting to get distracting it seemed to get sorted.

I thought I had seen Ruby before, she has been in a couple of Misfits episodes which is one of my favourite shows.

It was better than I was expecting from the earlier reviews, they certainly were a strange family.

So it looks like the out-of-synch version is the final version then! Amateurs!!!
And there was me thinking that I saved their shit Premiere :shiffty:

[jcolombi]

Awful Film. Rubbish story, that didn't really make sense 2/10

[stuartboy]

I wonder if we just saw a rubbish early edit - way before the finished article (which might actually have made more sense and flowed better)? I did actually like the last 1/3. The finger buffet was fun too.

Well I'm glad I stayed indoors last night now, reviews on here made me realise I didn't miss much!! (weather made me want to stay at home!!).

[McG]

The finger buffet was fun too.

Please don't invite me for lunch!

Well what can i say!!!!! Terrible ha ha!!

Went to Bluewater to see this. Firstly film didnt start until 19.10pm then the first few minutes were our of sync - although the SKY Rep that was there did pre warn us of this.

The film came up as a 15 - so why the 18 cert??

Definately not an 18 - and please it was so corny for the first half - thought i was watching Nancy Drew!!

Film did get better i suppose at the end with the gore - but only then.

12 people actually left the cinema half way through.
