I love The Hit and Gumshoe but... - Harmonia 08:24:16 01/16/07 (1)
...I've recommended them to so many people who've looked at my funny afterwards I've become cautious about promoting them.

  suggest there's a very "British" tone to these films; Hurt, Stamp, and Roth are all Brits, and so is Stephen Frears
  Look at the dialog between Wendy Richard and Albert Finney; it's only a minute of film but Septic Tanks will lose 99% of this in translation ( wot? wot are they on about then? Title fight? She don't look like no boxer, Vinny...)
