For a change a passable British thriller, though overly ambitious a good stab at a British take on the 24 phenomenon. Generally good performances all round excluding the Police Commander who seemed to have his shoes nailed to the floor in every shot he was in. With a bigger budget this film could have really opened up a bit, ripe for a remake though. The Spanish twist at the end was really sweet! Jaffrey seems to have been wasted of late, excluding Corra's and a few UK indie movies he seems to have but faded away. In Day of the Sirens though I saw his best performance in years, a moving and painful to watch study of a lone pensioner being targeted by a pack of vicious kids and pushed over the edge. Oh yeah, unusually well shot for a British independent.
