GwydionMW I'm supposed to respect a private detective too dumb to wear a hat in the rain? It seems to think its mood is fascinating.I found it dull. Too much lingering over the unimportant.An utterly banal story idea, but faster paced it might have been OK.It was still a silly copy of a US tale, out of place.Making it ethnic did not help.
rick-morgan9063 There appears to be something wrong with the sound mixing, perhaps a post production goof but this film is very hard to follow as the dialogue is lost in the background noise.I might add that I am both British and used to London and regional brit accents, yet I still struggled, In the interests of full disclosure, I never made it to the end of the film due to said issues, so my low score reflects my dissatisfaction with the audio quality.Learn to lip-read, or avoid
pakenmann 02:00 - Music: Violin too Arabic. Later, a bit too Irish 00:04 - Historical - Father from Uganda. Plausible.00:14 - Language - Indian accent while being Indian? Not very smart. Should have faked an Eastern European one.01:25 - Music : Turkish? Nothing in the film is Turkish.01:27 - Avid Elbaz? Jewish name? For a Pakistani guy? Not OK.
Andrew Marks From what I actually did pick up on from the movie, the story was pretty interesting and Riz Ahmed did a pretty good job. It was incredibly hard to understand what everybody in the movie were saying, the background noise was too loud, the music was too loud, and the heavy accents at low volumes are hard to understand if you're not familiar with how they speak in England. I don't think they need to change their voices or anything, it's how they speak and I totally respect that, it was just hard to understand for me and most of the audience at my screening.My suggestion: watch it with subtitles when it releases on Blu-Ray and DVD.Seen at TIFF 2016.
