Still waters run deep could be the tagline tbh.
A man "inherits" a crumbling stately pile, then takes up residence post haste. I wasn't really concentrating at this point as John Levene played an orderly, which set me off in a tangent of "is this Sgt Benton's film career I see before me??"
Ahem. Hardy's ok in the role, but I get the feeling it would have suited a younger actor cough. I had never seen this and was reasonably pleased with it. Whether I ever return to it is another matter haha. I do feel that it would have been a better film if the script had been more "in focus".
Never heard of this. Was it a YT watch?
