In the best laid traditions of James Bond, Her Majesty’s Government, and the Secret Services, it takes a psychopath to catch a psychopath, however the instrument of such bluntness is a cold steel walnut going up against a fragile glass hammer when it comes to penetrating the exterior of the film lover, especially when such a tale is presented without the humour of 007 or the best laid plan of a worthy adversary.

When a film doesn’t know what it wants to be, perhaps the best thing that an audience can do is allow it to flow naturally and under its own progression. Putting a film into a genre specific box sometimes doesn’t fit, too many square edges, a piece of corner missing, and allusion to subtext which has no space to breathe; and yet flow it does, it somehow squeezes past defiance and nestles in the hole it has walked with confidence into and refuses to budge.
