If tense, thrilling and twist-turning televisual theatrics are your cup of tea, then this superbly directed and acted cinematic classic should be just up your street.
It beggars belief that all the thespians involved are not household names but it is reassuring to know that the director Danny Boyle has been recognised for his other less accomplished works.
Without wishing to mar your viewing pleasure by regurgitating the plot of this celluloid triumph, the action basically revolves around a conniving, wanton, brazen, young hussy who accuses a silver tongued charmer of being the father of her unborn child after they had a night of passion. What complicates matters somewhat is that the silver tongued charmer Kyle has just decided to reignite his relationship with the mother of his existing child. At this point, much murderous mayhem ensues as the pregnant rejected strumpet decides to exact her revenge on his renewed love interest.
Whilst all the thespians are at the peak of their powers, especial mention must be given to the gentleman actor who received a hefty fist to his nose courtesy of Kyle. His appearance in the film was far too brief and it is hoped that he gets the chance to showcase his undoubted credentials in future similar blockbuster movies.
Anna Van Hooft is suitably menacing as Claire and one can only assume that her mantlepiece will be laden with acting awards judging by her acting masterclass in this cinematic smogasboard of delights.
Ultimately, this televisual triumph should act as a warning to all gentleman who have nice wives and children to avoid succumbing to the wanton charms of brazen, scheming hussies who live next door and for nice wives everywhere to avoid being neighbours of attractive young ladies who may want to be more than just a friend with their hunky husbands.
Hopefully a sequel is in the offing and an apt title for it could be 'Til Ex Do Us Part 2.' Thoroughly recommended!!
