I dunno... I saw the ending coming a mile away. The plot wasn't that original either.

But yeah, it was probably the best British film I've seen in a long time too. But that's not really saying anything.

No... I don't get the chance to really see a lot of non-American films. I did get to see a Belgian movie recently called "Memory of a Killer," which I thought was pretty good.

Well, I wholeheartedly recommend All or Nothing and Naked. Absolutely brilliant.

That sounds interesting, but only if they ship outside of America/Canada. I'll check the website out.
