    Bizarre, surreal, disturbing then, somewhat less now - I remember being enthralled and even horrified by this when I saw it decades ago and became hooked on David Lynch's work.  I watched it again today and although still watchable it is definitely showing its age.  David Lynch can always be relied upon to make something uniquely weird, visually arresting and often involving different forms of madness and repulsive extremes.  Dennis Hopper, although mesmerising, does tend to wander into OTT pantomime…

    A lacklustre affair with little to no suspense, excitement or thrill.  The music/sound track is unoriginal and jarring, even intrusive at times.  Well shot, not badly acted, however totally unconvincing performances and story.  A derivative and obvious concoction with nothing to really recommend it.

    This period drama starts off intriguingly and there are some good performances, primarily from grandees McKellen and Strong, who contribute a welcome and reliable pairing of experience and gravitas in their performances.  There are some solid supporting cast players who help to flesh out the environment.  The cinematography is high quality with some good set pieces and shots.  The stage is set, as it were, for a decent yarn, however there are a number of issues which unfortunately bring this…
