Average Rating: 
Rating: - Hugh Laurie
This is an interesting drama about a man (Hugh Laurie) whose life is out of control, but in a hidden and quiet way. His interactions with his wife, family and friends are all portrayed quite realistically. I liked Hugh Laurie's acting in this, and recommend it highly. I don't want to give away too many details, but think you will find it a fascinating story to watch.
Rating: - EXCELLENT MOVIE
Another outstanding performance by Mr. Laurie. He is an amazing actor that once again shows his enormous talent.
Mr. Laurie play a con artist named Leo who would sell his mother to make a buck.
There's a great scene of Mr. Laurie doing TAI-CHI in his underware is an added bonus!
Rating: - all or nothing at all delivers the former
Addictably watchable and compelling direction by Andrew Grieve. Hugh Laurie is well-cast as the likably deceptive Leo Hopkins. A well told story written by Guy Andrews of the gripping downward spiral of a man who just wants to make everyone happy.
