Amazing. I heard good things about it but I went into it a little skeptical because it looked pretty strange. Much better than I could have expected. Made me cry in the theater. Beautiful movie.
A made-for-tv movie produced by the BBC in 1984. The quality of the film is what you would expect.
The content of the film is horrifying to say the least. Bleak is an understatement. Depressing. It shows what England would look like after a nuclear war. Nobody wins. The lucky are killed by the initial blast. This is not a movie you watch to enjoy. But it accomplished what it set out to do perfectly.

10/10
100% agreed.
Disorienting at first but, once you accept the premise, absolutely fantastic. Original. Much better than the Marvel Universe dreck that keeps bubbling up from Hollywood's bottomless sh*tspring.
Marketed as a movie but it became apparent, from the way the opening credits were done, to the conduct of production through out......that this was from TV series. Sort of a Baywatch meets Extreme. It's not too bad for the photography is wonderful and the underwater rescue is pretty darn good. The way it bounces around in flashbacks, though, makes it a bit difficult to follow and it tries to do too much in the flick. The way it suddenly ends would be terrible....for a movie...but since it was made from a TV series, for a TV series, is okay....but on that note, it is no "The Spy With My Face". A lot of product placement. Reading on IMDB, it looks like a combination of episodes 3 and 4 with flashbacks to 1 and 2. A 5.0, all things considered.
Well, it never really gets going, so one has the draw on what they can out of it. Sure, there are twists, about which guy to hate, and what really happened and who the major players are, but it is like a jet liner cruising down the runway at high taxi speed but never taking off. A 5.0 and that's for the tension building......never reaches a satisfactory conclusion.
The 25th Hour, (2003) with Edward Norton, Barry Pepper, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
(In case you never saw it) it's about the last day the main character (Norton) lives through before going to prison.
Hadn't seen it in years and it was good to see again. Not a happy story (obvs) but everyone it is is so good.
