apart from be shoot like a tv drama and the story be ridiculous and all the character apart from okwe be flat and 1 dimensional and both in term of script development and act . i live in a part of london where if i walk down the street and hear someone speak english i turn my head in surprised . i have immigrant neighbour from africa and turkey and eastern europe . none of them act like the character in this film . frears very rarely create any live atmosphere in this film . and some of the decision in the story making process be just plain stupid and wrong . the mistake be that on the one hand we be give the feeling this be a serious drama deal with very real and heartbreaking immigration issue . but on the other and the story be so ridiculous and particularly the final twist and that you can not take it seriously . typical of british film making and this movie be catch between be entertain and deliver some kind of social message . it do neither . i be not surprise that most of the other review be write by brit . it be obvious that brit know nothing about movie . no wonder we can not make a decent one .
