The List (2013)
6/10
Quick moving, gritty British film

Warning: Spoilers
This film is a hard one to pin a label to. Yes, it's low budget, has dour scenery, earthy (and in places) poor acting from pretty much unknowns and no frills. On the face of it that sounds pretty bad, but these things can also be viewed as edgy and gritty, down to earth if you like, unlike so much of the over hyped film drivel produced recently. The storyline is good and pertinent in the current climate, the plot moves along surprisingly swiftly, keeping the viewer's attention throughout its sensible 90 minute runtime. There are some huge plot holes; the lone nut killer just happens to live within a quick drive of the main character, (really far fetched, when you consider that the plot line revolves around internet voting; the whole world and the killer lives next door, virtually). Then we have unknown Agents and Baddies appearing from nowhere hired seemingly, by no-one. On one occasion, in pitch black nighttime we see two Baddies pull over the main character whilst driving, they then proceed to smash and destroy the car's headlights with a golf club, however, this didn't hamper the driver when the driver resumes his journey after the bad guys have been despatched, still in the pitch black of the night. If you can overlook these types of needless errors and a few other continuity errors I would recommend this film for a good 90 minutes film viewing. 6/10
