I never rated a movie less than 4/10, but this one... I won't even explain why I gave this movie 1/10.
Sure there are really trash movies out there, but this one is the worst movie I've ever seen, in every aspect of cinematography...
Just don't watch it! Save your life time!
Helen Mirren is watchable as ever.. a feat in this pure camp remake, wherein even perennially elegant Anne Bancroft is reduced to the ridiculous. A bright spot is Roger Allam, who I just finished binging 9 seasons of, in Endeavor (2013). He is camped up here as well, but in a way that fits the role and isn't sloshing around in it. Whereas his Detective Inspector Thursday is dour, grumpy, and slightly corrupt, in Roman Spring, Allam (as Christopher) is witty and wryly jolly—a startling deviation.
