Very funny, sexy and a little bit scary..... classic Ben Chaplin as a convincingly sad Banker-with-a-silent-W, Nicole Kidman almost unrecognisable and Russian. If you like a spot of bondage with your bank job this is the film for you.
First viewing leaves you a bit breathless with its climax ! but it is a funnier film from its second viewing with delightful cameo appearances from League of Gentlemen and Smack the Pony comedy genius'.
This film was delayed in its release and sadly missed its perfect window a year before when mail order brides where headline news, so became more cult than mainstream which is a pity because it is a must-see, the acting is faultless, the comedy spontaneous and beautifully black.
