Four (2011)
More twists than a game of twister
I must admit, when I heard that this film had been made for £100k all in, and shot on one location in 17 days straight, I lowered my expectations accordingly. I needn't have, the script is taught, the dialogue is genuinely amusing with plenty of humour and for the most part the editing is sharp; while the plot unfolds revealing a different layer with each twist... The ending delivers a great pay off too.
Pertwee brings real menace to the roll of the sinister detective and all of the characters are well observed.
The broadsheets were hard on this film, I recommend you watch it and decide for yourself. It's a low budget British film, that may be reason enough for many support it, but I want to be entertained as well, and Four delivered on that score. Hence my 8 out of 10.
Watch it. And Watch out for debut film maker John Langridge, if that's hist first effort I can't wait to see what comes next!
