This is one of the most memorable films that I've ever seen and I'd been searching for it for a long time. With all the new technology I finally found it on Vudu and watched it for the second time. What fabulous performances by all three actors. Albert Finney is a favorite of mine, and he plays the once orphaned, perhaps delinquent gentleman who becomes the seeming victim of these 'lost' boys. As the power slowly shifts to Finney, he takes on a fatherly role toward the boys. This doesn't say enough. There's an atmosphere created by the director that elicits sometimes comedic and sometimes very touching moments between the parties. It's a feeling that's very difficult to categorize. Suffice it to say that if you like an interesting story, superbly acted by all, and don't mind the lack of special effects, you might see the gem I see in this film.

This is the most intriguing thing I've seen on television in many years! The atmosphere is definitely Noir and the story held my interest with twists and turns I admit I didn't see coming at the outset. Of course the acting had to be top notch to hold this together, and this ensemble cast headed by Hugh Laurie doesn't disappoint. Having grown up in San Francisco where it is set, I can tell you that all the filming locations were real places. I'm a 67 y/o guy who's seen a lot of television and I'm not easily impressed. This is the first time I've been moved to write a review on anything. Do yourself a favor and take a look at 'Chance'. If you like suspense, but don't want to know what's coming, this is for you!

I don't go to the movies anymore because they've become out of my reach financially. So, while trying to decide what to stream one night, I saw that Interstellar had an 8.6 rating. I know that means nothing in and of itself, but a neighbors son told me it was fantastic. I was skeptical going in because anything that stretches the credulity of science too far doesn't interest me. No spoilers here. I'm just going to say what many have already said. This film is based on absurd premises and I had a hard time following the plot at times. I was hoping that something extraordinary would come along to save the film, but, as others have said, it gets worse as it goes on. When I saw Kubrick's 2001 at the theater when it came out, I was fascinated. This film looks like something thrown together in a hurry by Hollywood. I can't imagine a team of people agreeing that this finished product was ready for the screen.
