i do not know anything about this dvd when i hire it . have a quick look here at the comment but decide to keep an open mind . obviously an independent film and low budget but that do not worry me . i will watch anything with derick jacobi and a always he play his part well . what a pity no one else do . i have watch atonement a few week ago with vanessa redgrave and she be sublime . in this she seem to just turn up to read the line . in my opinion the main mistake be in cast vinnie jones . to be honest i saw his picture on the dvd cover but do not notice that he get top billing . a sticker be strategically place over his name . it be watchable and i quite like the dickens story alongside present day . maybe with a more capable actor play the lead this might have work well . still it be weak .
