Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was a BBC television film that barely got a theatrical release anywhere, which explains the 3.3 rating from approximately three people who remembered it exists.
Released the same year as 'Croupier,' this represents peak 'Clive Owen in grim British things nobody watched' era before Hollywood finally noticed him.
