Decent Film about an Important issue which ALL 17/18 year olds need to watch - What Richard Did review by PV
NO SPOILERS but what happens in this film happens a lot - police had a campaign here about it last year, posters up.
Anyway, a slight simple short film, naturalistically played by young actors though the main ones look older than 17/18 of last year A levels. I liked the young card trick guy.
OK so maybe stretched out with flab and padding a bit - it could be a 1 hour Tv show or shorter even. Based on a novel BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK. More like based on a novella or short story as not that much here.
Lars Mikkelsen in this, playing a Scandinavian dad in Eire which is not explained nore the source of their wealth (I wanted to know!) He plays the Russian leader in House of Cars (US Spacey version) and is brother to the great Mads.

grim but rewarding - What Richard Did review by to
Realistic, the murderer did not do the right thing in the end, he did not confess. It reminded me of Woddy Allen's Crimes and Misdemeors" where the character says "This is not the movies, in real life people cover up if they can, survive and live with guilt"
Blockbuster Hollywood could'ent make this film. Well done, sad outcome but truthful.
