Dull and unconvincing thriller.

This was a rather disappointing movie. The concept of the movie is great thriller material but unfortunately the finished result was a huge letdown. The movie is dull and the story isn't a very believable one.It really is the story and storytelling that make this thriller a weak one. There hardly is any character development. The story itself also at times doesn't make real sense. The story takes some odd and unlikely turns at times. At times it also takes ages before something interesting happens again. And really, if the police were really that dumb and narrow minded, serial killers must really have an easy job.Yeah sure, it has still got Helen Mirren in it, which is probably also the only reason why I watched this movie in the first place, but come on, why did she ever agreed to appear in this movie in the first place... And besides, a great actress is never a guarantee that the movie is any good or even a watchable one. She is a great actress but she gets very little interesting to do. Besides like I mentioned before, the character development is quite poor, which is all the more reason why this movie falls flat as a thriller.You're better of watching a good English detective-series episode. There is more development, tension and mystery present in that.5/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

I lived in the road where

Not a bad film, but I just watched this and realised the house where Annie Marsh (Helen Mirren) lives is actually the road in Bristol I lived in for 12 years of my life - I was living in this road when The Hawk was being filmed and remember seeing Helen Mirren (although I didn't realise who she was at the time).Just a useless bit of trivia :)What do other people think about this film? Did anybody else live in Lilymead Avenue at the time? Does anybody else have a similar experiences? Do you think Helen Mirren should have won the best Actress BAFTA over Judy Dench?
