oh but this be woeful . one good actor after another turn in lamentable dialogue in half hearted fashion under what must have be incredibly pedestrian direction to consider it acceptable . i like robert carlyle and joanne whalley be one of my favourite actress and tom courtney can act well when push and david suchet be a professional of the high integrity but they all wallow around like fish in a barrel of watery gin . i swear courtney be inebriate and on painkiller or both . be there a good performance in the whole thing . well yes and david hood a the junior underground engineer whose mate get wash away look like he be take the thing seriously and credit to him for that and it can not be easy when all around be lose theirs so to speak and or maybe his scene come under the direction of the assistant director ( if there be one ) i just do not know what these people be do in a film that be this poor ( other than pay the bill and obviously ) i can not begin to say how disappointed i be in them . you should be ashamed of yourselves . any positives other than david hood the third . yes the aerial shot of london largely submerge be very well do and the effect artists responsible deserve good than to have their fine work punctuate by such a shallow story and if you will forgive the expression and a those few people that do see them will do so on a far small screen than would be to best advantage . what go on here . why be british film maker try to imitate such characterless and spectacle driven and tabloid level genre a the disaster movie and then do it even bad than the american . gritty realism and character integrity and the capture of real emotion in a way that make you feel it and care . the family way and spring and port wine and get carter and the long good friday and trainspotting . don not get me wrong i like a bit of escapist hokum . the real italian job and the adventure of tom jones while but oh that it should come to this and there be more realistic drama in carry on camping .
