Review of Split Second

Split Second (1999 TV Movie)
8/10
Errant cyclists beware...
22 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The Cyclist stands the test of time as Clive Owen plays Michael Anderson, a harried corporate lawyer in Edinburgh I think? It's hard to tell from the range of English accents. Anyway, he's under pressure at work, and this flows on to his family. In fact, his boss offers him a transfer to China with the incentive that the Chinese love children, and the boss confirms this with his wry observation that the owner of the local Chinese restaurant loves children LOL!!! I guess this plays on the TV/movie trope of the Chinese restaurant owner fawning over white kids seated at the table I guess.

Michael confronts a cyclist and it's not pretty. Not much sympathy is given to the cyclist and many innocent pedestrians just wanting to enjoy a quiet stroll along the pathway would get sick of cyclists going "ding! ding! ding! ding!" furiously cycling by for no reason than emulating some Tour de France competitor. Anyway, thankfully Michael doesn't get hit with an unjustified sentence thanks to his lawyer friend.
