Director Antonia Bird, who also directed Carlyle in
Face, a film which
co-starred
Blur's
Damon Albarn - also the co-composer of the music here, brings to the
screen a film which is mildly diverting and worth a look once you get past the
ever-so-slow first fifteen minutes, but it's not one that should be made top
of anyone's list.
It does have one classic line, the speaker of which I won't name as it'll spoil
one plot point:
"It's lonely being a cannibal... Tough making friends."
I have little complaint with the sound or picture. Framed in the original 2.35:1
widescreen ratio and anamorphic, the quality can be mostly considered excellent
bar the odd glitch that most people won't really notice, probably because
their mind is trained to the gory blood all over the place, not to mention the
gruesome, but entertaining, final fight scene.
Audio-wise there's nothing that stands out to any major degree, apart from the
occasional use of the score, but any directional effects are impressive and
the soundtrack is clean and free of distortion.
The extras consist of a Trailer (2 mins, non-anamorphic 16:9),
Picture Galleries for movie stills, costume and set design,
10 Deleted Scenes, with or without commentary but all in
non-anamorphic 2.35:1 and muffled sound and 3 Audio Commentaries:
one from Antonia Bird & Damon Albarn, another from Carlyle on his own and
a third from screenwriter Ted Griffin and actor Jeffrey Jones.
There are 26 chapters which is fine, menus are static and silent
and the subtitles come in 11 languages: Czech, Danish, Finnish, Hebrew,
Hungarian, Icelandic, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Swedish and English for
the hearing impaired.
