Bold but cold.

I've read the book, by BS Johnson, that this film is based on and it's far better. I tried my best to like the film but I just couldn't care for any of the characters. Nick Moran is too pretty and too toned to convince as Christie. He needed to be a social outcast...not a catalogue model. You really couldn't understand why Christie had such a massive (and dangerous) chip on his shoulder.Neil Stuke livens things up a bit with a nice comic turn but it's pretty heavy going.

Nick Moran's arse is rather lovely though.
