4.0 out of 5 stars Actually quite good! 3 Oct 2007
By Shane Brown
Format:DVD
This is a clever, and timely, film from the director of the gay classic "Like It Is". This is a more ambitious film in that all of the filming pertains to be done via CCTV or surveillance cameras. Watching the film, I'm not sure if that is true, but it is an interesting concept although it does make the film more difficult to "get into". The acting is good throughout and Tom Harper is thoroughly engaging. The storyline, centring around a royal cover-up, won't please royalists by any means - but is sadly thoroughly believeable.

Don't be put off by the negative reviews that have gone before. This is a fine film. It isn't a blockbuster or mainstream movie, but if you're looking for something a little different but still accessable, this is a nifty, fast-paced thriller.

4.0 out of 5 stars cool film 28 Sep 2007
By roco
Format:DVD
This was a very interesting film given what is going on these days with 'big brother' surveillance everywhere so I thought it was really timely and had a lot to say and working the surveillance idea into a neat thriller involving the royal family was clever and very original. Nice change for the hero to be gay man and Dawn Steele is always hugely watchable. I thought this was a neat twist and turn film that showed a lot of new ideas in terms of story and filming style.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good storyline that could be real in todays society 16 April 2008
By Downsman
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The plot is beleivable which makes a change. Big Brother is with us and the outcome of his early actions is predictable and scary for gay guys in these situations. Worth watching more than one time.
