There is one word I can use to sum up this film: weird. It's one of those films that, even though you're thinking it's really quite slow and boring, you can't actually get up and walk out of it because it is nevertheless still gripping. Not a film I would particularly recommend for anyone to spend their hard earned cash on, but not as bad as some reviews have made out. It would probably be better watching it in the comfort of your own home.

This film is so bitter, it does not surprise me most of the comments are negative. Yet, what I saw was a big, dumbfounding answer to all these so called "reality shows" around us on tv, that we all watch so willingly.

You see, there is a huge difference between being AWARE that you are being watched and not knowing it. No one can be true when he / she is consious of being watched AND THEREFORE JUDGED.. That why this is not likeable: reality bites.

What we see is people as they REALLY are. The fact that they are forced to face their true selves leaves every single one of them devastated - even Sadie. The undeniable revelation of their self pretense crushes everyone. Even the dead -Jude- is revealed to himself and the rest, this game has gone out of his hands.

Yet, there is an objection: the film somehow finally crushes all human relationships by not making clear that not ALL people act this way. Somehow the point seems to be that we should loose faith in any friendship and all relationships in general. This is why there should be a much clearer grading of people and situations.

The first fifteen minutes I had my doubts on whether I was going to waste my time or have a good time with this movie. But it quickly increases in a good way so that I was totally absorbed by the story. The story is actually going somewhere even though my first doubts. I even didn't see the end coming, absolutely not, I was totally surprised by it. The story is a simple but effective concept. Hidden cameras that bring the truth about the lives of a bunch of friends. We all know how people are badmouthing others when they are absent and in Final Cut it is shown to them in a sometimes provocative way. There is a lot of cursing, but it fits the movie, because I think I would curse a lot as well if it happened to me. The best performance is from Ray Winstone that plays one of the major roles, as well as Jude Law. The whole cast is perfect for this movie. Not my favorite kind of film shooting but in this case it works perfectly well.
