despite some criticism of the film and quite a low general rating on imdb and i like the film and think that it be a tense and interesting film by roger michell . i like the more unusual tragedy and how it start off the film and give a background of what be to come in the film and and i think that the build up of joe or joe joe ( daniel craig ) character be very well do and the sophisticated london style lecturer and entrepreneur life in which he lead . i notice that the plot be quite slow in build up and reach it climax and at the end quite abruptly and for most film and i would use this a a deterrent but i think it suit the genre of the film and a a tense thriller but think it be more than just another thriller and rip off other film of it kind and i think it have some amazing and typically thriller esquire moment but i think the film be so much more than that and i love the colour in london and in the rural field outside oxford and i think the music perfectly fit and interlinks with the plot and create a classic film . the end be quite predictable perhaps and in part but be a perfect send off to the film . the finale with jed at the end and with the kiss and be perfect for the film and despite be very gruelling on the eye and not mean to be homophobic . and on the field at the end of the film and be a good sort of twist and but nothing to complex and the event bring you back to what happen at the beginning and and i like this aspect . have not read the novel and by ian mcewan and i do not know how it fair a a novel to film adaption and most reader of the novel and however and seem to dislike the film and i admit and perhaps if i have read the novel and it may have put a downer on the film . i watch the film a a part of film four thriller movie and along with one hour photo and another thriller i be impress with and despite not normally take a liking to thriller . i prefer endure love and however and because i think it be more unique and have the right balance to a thriller film and and think the actor suit the character well and especially and daniel craig . i do admit and however and before the film have a doubt about the casting of rhys ifans a jed and however and i be glad to have be prove wrong and be impress with his performance of a jesus freak psychopath .
