5.0 out of 5 stars
Entertaining film unfairly treated,
By Hazel Hollander (Affton, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Three and Out [DVD] (DVD)
This is a good film of the clever British style but it was forced out of general release in the U.K. because the premiere was picketed by tube drivers. In fact the tube drivers came out much nicer than expected in a job affected occasionally by selfish people with no thought of the consequences of their actions on others. It really was a pity that more people did not have the chance to see the film in British cinemas, it is entertaining and very good.

Good Comedy Drama,
By
This review is from: Three and Out [DVD] (DVD)
If I had seen this in the cinema I would probably have come away slightly underwhelmed - but viewing it as a typical British comedy drama (emphasis on the drama) I think it's really pretty good. Although perhaps light on the comedy it does have some very funny moments and the story engaged me and always kept me interested in the characters. When I read the plot synopsis I wondered if this would be too black a comedy for my tastes, but apart from the strange Frenchman (which seemed to me not to add much to the story) the plot is not as dark as I had thought. You could perhaps predict the way the story twists but I found it a dramatic and effective ending. Great performances by Colm Meaney and Imelda Staunton in particular, and a well chosen soundtrack help make the film. Set your expectations right and this might be worth a watch.

three, and out (of 5) - good Brit comedy,
By
This review is from: Three and Out [DVD] (DVD)
A great unsung small British film. A super little cast deliver a super little idea. It is a nice easy watch, laced with humour and effortless playfulness. Yes it is silly and goofy, but it is a good find for Brit film fans.
A train driver suffers 2 suicides in a week. He realises a third death and he can retire on a loophole pay-out, all he needs is a third train death. He stumbles across a suicidal man and the pair strike a deal. But, will they go through with it? The film stars MacKenzie Crook (Office and Pirates) and Colm Meaney, co-starring Gemma Arteton, and also has a cameo from Kerry Katona. Arteton fans will be glad to see glimpses of her naked, even if with MacKenzie Crook. There is also a lot of swearing too.
