Siskoid
A quirky British comedy-thriller, it features Gary Oldman as a bizarre hitman whose mobile phone gets exchanged for a petty thief's played by Primeval's Andrew-Lee Potts (for no good reason playing it American). It doesn't quite work, but it's not unpleasant. The main story's misunderstandings are fun enough, and you can't tell where it's going. And while the cast of zanies has a lot going for it (throw in Billy Zane, Terence Stamp and Robert Carlyle, among others), the subplot never really connects with the rest of the story. It's part of the joke, but it's a joke that falls flat. And though it has a vivacious style, it's over-directed, with unmotivated shots and flights of fantasy that don't fit the overall picture. 8 years 7 months ago
