Search: Starring David Hayman

Worthy, entertaining, but suffers in places from heavy-handedness.

The clash of cultures is right here, the black music and the white rejection

This Invisible Man is a fallen aristocrat of a film, a mere shadow of what it might once have been but clinging to its pride nonetheless, and rather admirable for it.

A cast to die for? Certainly. And they almost do.

Why something so English, which includes actors of David Hayman’s quality, despite the Scottish accent, appears rudderless is difficult to justify.

Jailbroken is a pared down thriller that really grips.

The plot makes as much sense as a French haggis.

For a feelgood movie, it is surprisingly slow.

It's not so much kitchen sink, as tenement trauma.

Both actors are masters of his kind of material and give the film a good deal more depth and nuance than is present in the script alone.

If this wasn't based on fact, no one would believe the sight of it.

After 15 minutes of fast zooms, sliced cuts, topsy pans and turvy close ups you want to be sick... after 40 minutes, you have eaten your words and are beginning to think this is original and thrilling.

Jonathan Pryce conveys the burden of inner conflict with exceptional subtlety, as James Wilby carries Sassoon's intellectual fury with fortitude.

Raging Grace is a Gothic thriller with the potential to appeal to a wide audience. It’s also a fierce critique of the racism embedded in a culture which still treats it as normal for some perfectly capable people to be waited on by others, and to treat them as less than human in the process.

A story like this could easily have been utterly bleak, despite the powerful music. It is to Cox's credit that he packs it full of energy and humour that keep one gripped right up until the end.

How the quality of the writing and the commitment of the actors retains so high a standard is a miracle we can only be grateful for.

A straightforward whodunit, you might think. Sorr - y! This is an Atom Egoyan movie and nothing is ever that simple.
