Saw it last weekend and now I'm waiting for a director's cut. The movie didn't even contain some of the scenes from the trailer. They cut it so badly, you get from one ongoing scene directly into the middle of another without ever getting any resolution for the previos one, which just gets cast aside and never spoken about again. And that's whats happened to all the subplots in that movie - they just got fogotten. Same for Rebecca's character and what she was inverstigating. Whoever did the cutting job on that movie should never work again. It's some of the worst cases of ruining a movie on editor's table I've seen. That being said, the cinematography is good enough, so is the acting. Get all the missing footage and it might turn into a pretty decent mini-series.
Let me see if I read the above review straight; it was terrible but had nice scenery, so 7 out of 10?
The "gyrating" scene w/ Gainsbourg was ridiculous, but the actress herself was no worse than anyone else here (Simmons was watchable; he was by far the best thing in this.) It wasn't Toby Jones', Adrian Dunbar's, Chloe Sevigny's, nor James D'Arcy's fault they were saddled w/ hokey and/or forgettable dialogue, and to me secondary characters are every bit as important as the primary ones.
This is the kind of film one watches and thinks "My god, that desperately needed a re-write, a re-shoot, or the lens cap left on." Who in the heck watched the dailies and imagined this was going well enough to keep moving forward? And for a film w/ two well-noted Editors, this flaccid dud looks like it was chopped up after filming straight through, then several scenes were reassembled by hat-draw.
It's not the actor's fault, nor the directors' - but a rewrite won't fix this. Throw away the script, get a fresh one. Everybody, everything else can stay in.

Thanks, I realise that my view is in the minority though! Did you get a chance to see it?

Yes, I think with this film you need to imagine what it could have been and there was at least enough in the film for me to enjoy it overall.
