Would you advocate watching 2 hours of 'entertainment' if it sneaked in a false story about the Brexit movement?

For sure if it got good reviews... ::)

It really is entertainment... We all know that don't we...? It isn't real...  noooo:

I find it bizarre that you won't watch anything that you consider strays from the truth (Sully) but then watch Star Wars...  lol:
That no one has marketed Star Wars as being true events you do know?

I always found it amusing that they had to put that disclaimer about the film being a work of fiction in at the end of the credits amusing I always found itlol:
Fixed that for you

Opportunity missed I did, kicking myself I am  redface:

Thought it was a great yarn meself (so did Mrs K)

The trying too hard was all part of the underlying comic intent imho.  It was never setting out to be a Wallander

Mrs K is working her way through all the Avengers films but tempted to go for the Invisible Man now Sky are letting you see currently out films (for money of course)

Anyone seen it?  It got good reviews

I didn't get the chance to see it before it was replaced but there were only a few people at a time going to see it as far as I was aware.

General feedback was that it was 'OK' so I'd guess watchable but not overly memorable.
