You Might Want to FastForward to the Last Half


I found the premise of the second half to be fun and engaging but i found the whole first half rambling and rambling. I reached the part where the 2 of them sat down at the kitchen table to taste some bottle. At that point, i was ready to give up and eject the dvd. Then i came back later and fast forwarded to the part where they were all around a table at a whiskey lecture. It was fun after that, but i just can't recommend the first half of the film.

I thought Another Year was absolutely brilliant, just as brilliant as Virginia Woolf even, but this one was just way too badly scripted/paced.

I agree

The first half was more than it needed to be. Could have done all that in 10minutes and then further developed the heist!

I agree that the 1st half was largely unnecessary but, as a character study, it was well done so I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Just watched it. I had the opposite experience, actually. I felt the first half was well drawn and acted, writing was great. Felt the second half moved without much "earning" such a dramatic shift back to his old ways.
