Unlikeable Characters

OMG, I thought it was just me. I too, could not stand ANY of the characters, from the gate.

I am a big fan of Tom Wilkinson's, and his character was very unsympathetic. Except, in the scene when he walks into the entryway of his home and begins to sob. I guess I can attribute his character's "redeemable" moments to Tom's terrific thespian skill’s. He is a MARVELOUS actor.














What, just for once in your life can't you be serious?

I agree, but I think that made the plot more interesting and less predictable. Sort of like "Pieces of April,"in which the mother, a cancer patient, is a b*tch rather than a saint.

All the characters, Anne, Bill and James were unlikeable. Yet, no matter his faults, I sympathized with Tom Wilkinson's character James. The other two forced him into lying to the Inspector. Anne flaunted her relationship with Bill in front of her husband. Anne made me cringe everytime she spoke. She seemed unsympathic, soft and kept saying she was sorry for everything. Whether that was their relationship from the start, we will never know. It is so wonder that James should have been glad to get rid of her.
