The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo


Christopher Tookey is a film critic. He currently writes for the Daily Mail. He was known in the past for his staunch views on censorship (he was at the forefront of the anti-Crash movement in 1996) but he is not a bad film critic. After all, he liked Let the Right One In and disliked The Love Guru. He is fairly unremarkable as a reviewer of movies.

I tried to write a humourous caption about the above image but nothing struck me.
Premise: Liar Liar in reverse.
Length: Too long, gets a bit tedious after the first hour.
Cast: Amazing. Peep the IMDb.
Themes: Too much religion.
Gervais: On form.
Best bit: The first ten minutes (most of which is in the trailer).
Worst bit: Taking the piss out of advertising and product placement and then featuring Budweiser in the background/foreground of almost every shot of the movie.
Overall: 6/10.

BECAUSE RAGE IS 98 MINUTES OF THE DULLEST SHIT I’VE SEEN IN MY LIFE.
That fawkin Mr Bean 2…
[Incidentally, Taxi Driver was not 'cunted' upon its release. It was a critical and financial success, was nominated for 4 Oscars and won the Palme D'Or.]
ADDENDUM: Bradshaw responds.
