13 Steps Down (2012)
9/10
Surprisingly Good
5 June 2023
I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this after not expecting to. The story was told at a steady pace, the acting was very good.. Luke Treadaway was excellent.

Thankfully it didn't fall into the trap of going along at a good pace then two thirds of the way through leaving all reality and turning ridiculous as a lot of films tend to do nowadays.

Yes there were a few examples of box ticking .. mixed race family etc .... but that is quite realistic as the film is set in London .. if it had been a middle class village somewhere in Hertfordshire then it would have felt more like tokenism.

And it was good see see Gemma Jones who played the Duchess Of Duke Street in the 1970's series of the same name.

Well worth watching if you prefer a more steady paced thriller and not endless fights and car chases etc....
