Stratton (2018)

Just perfect...

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is a pitiful film trying desperately to be a Bond film, with Dominic Cooper supposedly using this film to throw his name into the hat for the next lead.Awkward silences, cheesy dialogue and a plot twist that may be less obvious if the "mole" weren't Tom Felton aka Draco Malfoy.

Worth a watch. However, experting viewers to believe a London bus could out accelerate a Range Rover was a too far fetched.

I actually rented this. There goes £4.50 Awful acting, poorly shot. The bus chase is on a test track ffs
