This one is a little bit too far off the wall for me, it's almost on the ceiling and the boil is quite nauseating.
Mr. E really is quite freaky here too and this is one of those performances of his that puts me off of him sometimes. He was fine in 'Withnail and I' (198??) and his more recent work has been more tempered, but this is extreme, even for him.
The moral of the insanity and the big brother state force feeding people through advertising is quite valid, but it get's lost in all the craziness.
I do wonder if it would have worked better with maybe Patrick Stewart or someone of that more classic style in the lead role. Richard being slightly eccentric and OTT to begin with.
It should have finished when he was driving his Range Rover on the motorway. That would have been a clever ending.
It's far too weird for me. I won't be watching it again!
