This dark British comedy is about an old, down on his luck, psychic who has to rely on his stage craft (or possibly real psychic powers) to fend off two robbers who have broken into his house. If you're a fan of British comedy then there's a lot here to enjoy. There's a good cast with a nice supporting role for Anthony Head of Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Giles fame, the script has plenty of twists and turns, as the cat and mouse plot unfolds over the course of a single night and there's a nice, final, final twist that will catch most by surprise. The opening does take it's time, setting up the characters, but it also sets up lots of future revelations which pay off later in the film. Overall it delivers enough laughs, suspense and intrigue for a fun and enjoyable evening's entertainment.
