The traditional story of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde given a modern spin, starting Eddie Izzard.
I was really excited about seeing it, and keen to see what Izzard was going to inject into the role. The result, was sadly underwhelming. I liked the start, but it just became dull and a little boring at times, I didn't care for the ending.
I thought the cinema would have been packed out for this on the opening weekend, there were four of us, that should have been enough.
I was really hoping for a dark, gothic horror, what it turned out to be was a fairly lame comedy, with horror elements here and there. I didn't care much for Izzard's character, just irritating more than anything.
It was hard at times to work out which was Jekyll and which was Hyde, they could have gone a lot further.
Acting wise, Izzard was alright, I can't say there was anything particularly good, the quality I thought, came from Lindsay Duncan.
Watchable enough, but very disappointed.
5/10.
