Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Justin Kerrigan dedicates this tale of delusion and misadventure to his late father, who may have been the model for his protagonist.
Robert Carlyle plays Charlie, a man on a mission so opaque that his teenage son (Arron Fuller) can't begin to fathom it: is he involved in counter-espionage? A hitman, or a madman? The modest setting in small-town Wales suggests that Charlie hasn't such a firm grasp on reality, though Kerrigan can't gather these veils of uncertainty into an involving drama. We don't know what the hell is going on, and, by the halfway point, we don't much care. It's a disappointment from a director whose earlier Human Traffic banged the drum for 1990s club culture.
