An Exercise In Nonsense

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

"Mobile" from 2007 is a four-part British miniseries, starring Michael Kitchen, Keith Allen, Jamie Draven, and Peter Vaughan.The story concerns the mobile phone industry and the plot unfolds over time, as we see the incidents from four different perspectives: a teenager (Brittany Ashworth), a soldier (Draven) now on the police force, and two mobile moguls (Kitchen and Allen) whose lives intertwine over business and a personal issue.This is a story of revenge, horrific loss, depression, and terrorism, with a shocking twist at the end as each person's story merges.Truly excellent with wonderful performances - I rented this from Netflix - don't miss it.

I had never seen or heard of this mini series before viewing it. The first episode may seem a bit slow and you think everything is solved until the last minute. Then hold onto your hat cause with each following episode things get more and more twisted, there are lies onto of lies, betrayal, guilt old and new. With each episode you learn more about characters who are more and less than they seem. The acting is excellent, the story ends with a bang on top of bang after bang. It's a roller coaster ride.I highly recommend it. And will look for more by this team. Now will I ever reach the minimum number of lines for a review.

I can find no information about this series which I stumbled across last night on an obscure Canadian TV channel. This first episode of an unknown number is promoted as an examination of a conspiracy originating in Iraq. I am hooked. As a viewer, I was given small tidbits of detail, a series of shocking incidents, a glimpse into the life of a seemingly tragic yet ordinary family swept up in events over which they have no control...well, I'll come back for more. The cast are pretty much new to me though I do watch a fair amount of British television. They all perform well and the conspiracy, what ever it turns out to be, is tantalizingly unrevealed thus far.
