Freeze Frame (15) |
Lee Evans plays a suspected murderer (yes, that Lee Evans) in this British thriller pitched as a Cracker-style mystery, shot in Matrix green monochrome. As a short film, it might have been impressive, with a consistently grainy, stylised look, and some visual flair. As a parody, it has potential too, combining a ludicrous plot, wild overacting, and disastrous miscasting; generating a number of unintentional laughs. As a feature, however, it's woefully inadequate; yet another British feature that somehow managed to raise considerable funding despite being well below television standard. David Haviland, 16.06.04 |
