I found this movie disappointing and inconclusive. I confess I haven't read the book, but I won't bother after watching the film. The characterisations were OK, but overall I was rather underwhelmed.

This gem of a movie was adapted from a novel by Minette Walters. It stars Clive Owens as the down-on-his luck reporter who is given the case of a homeless man who apparently committed suicide in the garage of a infamous widow (Joely Richardson). The sexual undercurrents between these two are fascinating to watch. In fact, the whole movie is fascinating to watch. There is the usual plot twists and interesting characters that one expects from a Minette Walters story and it translates well to screen as directed by Diarmuid Lawrence. The whole who-did-it suspense is nicely done as we meet likely suspects (loner co-worker, missing husband who tries to make amends?, street kid , etc.) while the plot revelas further unsolved mysteries......
