I watched this to see Bruce Jones in it, who I know from long ago Coronation Street. He performed well with a limiting script. I mean, there was plenty of emotional highs and lows for him to strut his stuff, but the plot seemed weak and fell back on stereotypes. I had trouble with his being too proud to accept charity but he has no qualms about breaking the law. Do those two standards really fit with each other? I was poor for several years as a young adult and never came close to that sort of reasoning. I am in the U.S. but I have watched a lot of British programming and movies over the years and usually manage the accents quite well, but these folks often spoke very fast and low, and I missed half or more of some conversations . Luckily the plot was so simple it was still easy to follow what was going on. I give the ending credit for not being predictable, but it also seemed kind of pat, deus es machina.
