"I really enjoyed this British take on the noir genre. It had a sensitive and moving performance by Riz Ahmed as a troubled PI. The plot, like all good noir, is satisfyingly layered. In addition to being an excellent whodunit, it addresses Islamophobia, the treatment of immigrants and the growing feeling that there are hidden agendas that affect our everyday lives. Not high budget or flashy but very well done. Highly recommended...."
💡 Did You Know?
The cigarettes smoked in the film (particularly by Tommy) were specially made-for-filming fake cigarettes. At the TIFF screening, director Pete Travis joked that Riz Ahmed was sick whenever he had to smoke them, in which case Travis would then make him smoke another one for good measure.
