Birthday Girl
Nicole Kidman is a rare actor and here again we see her take on a role that is outside the box Hollywood like to keep their female stars in. If you like any of the films from the left side of the studios you will want to see this frankly naive bank clerk change into a upstanding member of society via torture-albeit of the comfy chair variety-bank robbery and the last scene from Casablanca.
Jip Rating
On your own ------- 4 stars
With your mates--- 3 stars
With your Lass ---- 5 stars
Drunk ------------------ 3 stars
Upshot is See this with your Girlfriend and have her realise that coming in at 4 am when you only went out for a pint is not that bad when put in context with having her 'kidnapped' by the Russians.
Off the beaten track
A thoughly enjoyable british film , Kidman has never been sexier. The plot was very original and the acting first class. A must !
Birthday Girl
Misfiring mingle of romantic comedy and thriller with cardboard characterisation.
