I can not fault the actors who all give excellent performances but are let down largely due to the poor writing. The two characters are all two dimensional which makes it difficult to empathise with any of them. All the women in this film are portrayed as victims or heroines (even the one who commits murder) and all the men are perpetrators or villains. So to summarise women good, men bad, this kind of tedious stereotyping makes it difficult to take the film seriously at all unfortunately the plot very quickly spirals out of all believability. Apart from a lot of crying and screaming not much happens and the ending stretches credulity to the max.
I was left feeling cold and a little cheated. It is possible that I am just not the target audience and that had I have been a middle class women I would have enjoyed this film more. I can definitely see why the BBC commissioned this though, with 90% of it set in one apartment the lack of locations must have made it very cheap to make.
I have given three stars for the actors who where brilliant.
