This had the occasional moment of brilliance but for the most part was just mediocre. The basic premise &#8211; Oceane a woman (an improbable &#8216;computer graphics designer&#8217;) who won&#8217;t leave the house hires Audley, an unsuccessful mercenary, to find out what happened to her ex-boyfriend, and accompanies* him via some dubious videophone technology &#8211; is interesting enough, but the story stagnates in Spain and the ending is just trite.</p><p>Worth consuming, but only just. Borrow it, don&#8217;t buy it.</p> Sat, 25 Feb 2006 20:19:07 GMT http://www.allconsuming.net/entry/view/20782 nobody@allconsuming.net (Rob Bevan)
