This dvd was too far too sweary and the sex scene was unlikely given the main character is hardly a so-called heart throb. I am sure there would have been a homicide case.

Way back in April 2008 when this film came out at the cinema, almost all the press coverage was negative. Apparently, ASLEF (the main trade union representing London Underground employees) was up in arms about the subject matter (people getting killed in front of trains) as they didn't think this is a laughing matter. They seemed under the impression that this was an out-and-out comedy, but nothing could be further from the truth. One wonders whether any of these Union people spouting out quotes for the BBC news interviews had ever actually SEEN the movie they were deriding. Probably not. Whether this kind of pre-launch publicty was good for the film overall is hard to say. I tend to think not. Now at least all the fuss has died down and the film has been released to the DVD home market, I've finally had a chance to see what all the fuss was about. It stars quite a few names most people will have heard of, and one at least that audiences are sure to be hearing a lot more of in the future - ex "St. Trinian's" girl Gemma Arterton, who will next be seen in the new James Bond film "Quantum of Solace". "Three and Out" is not her film though, it belongs to former "The Office" star Mackenzie Crook and "Star Trek:TNG" and "Deep Space Nine" stalwart Colm Meaney. Other familiar faces you might spot are the guy from the Nationwide Bank TV adverts (Mark Benton) and former "Atomic Kitten" star Kerry Katona. Although set against the backdrop of the London Underground, not much of the film is set in the capital - it very quickly becomes a road trip type movie which takes in Liverpool before finally arriving somewhere near Coniston in the Lake District. Arterton (a Kent girl) affects a decent Scouse accent for the movie. I'm sure she will become a very successful star in the future once she makes the trip across the Atlantic to Hollywood. As for the movie, Crook plays Tube driver and wannabe author Paul, who has the misfortune to hit two people with his train inside as many weeks. His friends at work tell him of the "three and out" rule, in which if you kill three people in a month you get retired with a ten year lump sum payment. I'm not sure what the average tube driver makes these days, but I'd say that equates to well over a quarter of a million pounds. So it is that he tries to find someone willing to throw themselves in front of his train and how he happens across Colm Meaney's character, Tommy. But before he does the deed, Tommy wants to take this last weekend to try and patch up things with his family - his estranged wife Rosemary (Brit-flick stalwart Imelda Staunton) and Gemma Arterton as his daugther Frances (or 'Frankie'). It's essentially then a film about Tommy's life and how it came to be that he is willing to end his life under the wheels of Paul's train, and also about Paul beginning to have second thoughts about whether he can really go through with killing his new friend - which builds up to a very surprising conclusion - the "Will he or Won't he?" bit as he sees Tommy walk onto the rails in front of him. The film may be amusing in places for sure, but its not an out-and-out comedy designed to have people rolling in the aisles. Not many will be laughing by the end. Extras include a making-of documentary plus a collection of deleted scenes. It may not have got much of an audience at the cinemas, but hopefully, it will reach a wider audience on DVD. A strong contender for the best British film of 2008.Vollständige Rezension lesen
