I got this off ebay the other day and watched it last night.
The film is a little weird, not least because of Julian's Yorkshire accent.
Now I'm a Yorkshire lass myself and I have to say his attempt was passable but he just sounded soooo strange
I quite like his look in this film and his hair is a great shade and length.
But once again he is the sidekick to the main character (John Simm).
Nearly forgot- Tamsin was in it as a receptionist - but not in a scene with JRT.

Oh dear, can one of the moderators do something with this? I didn't intend it to go in the Notting Hill section. (I am really daft at times - sorry).

hehe, no problem. Moved

Yes, he is the sidekick, and he has a funny accent, but he saves the day!! I love the way he says his line 'the eyes gave him away' after he has despatched the villain - makes me smile every time.

I was a bit disapointed that he wasn't in it more and then near the end he was on lots and yes, he did save the day with his karate skills
As I said before, the accent was meant to be Yorkshire like John Simm (who was born in Leeds) but it didn't suit him.

So is it worth forking out for? I heard it was poor...

I love this movie. My favorite line is "Put down the pickle, we come in peace."
He's gorgeous in it - hair sometimes loose, sometimes banded, always long and lush. The movie is okay, predictable, one of those stories which starts out with a good idea and then becomes bland. I think they must have started with a much better script, because all five of the stars are notable actors. What I do is imagine the same film with Julian as star and make it sexier and more noirish. Julian has no romantic scenes in it, but it's worth the price for any true JRT fan.

Now I'm off to watch Tomb Raider for the 47th time

Jenniefer, I got it on ebay for £5 (2nd hand but in perfect condition).
Oh millefleurs I'd forgotten about the pickle line!
After re-watching Julian's scenes a few times, it's now filed and probably won't come out again for a while. For me it's not a must watch over and over film. I do like most of what John Simm does but this wasn't his best and I found Chritina Ricci quite bland and annoying.

I think you are right Millefleurs - I have the movie because of JRT, and I like John Simm as well, but every time I watch it, I think that there was the potential for a much better movie in there. This could have been a British homage to Chinatown, but it never got there - shame.

Okay; got it through the door today - watched it - I love it. Bit plot-holey, but it is really enjoyable.

Julian makes geek...well, chic. The accent is hilarious. His character (what was 'developed' of it) reminded me of Rhys Ifans (sp?) in Notting Hill.

I watched Notting Hill on tv last night for what must be the tenth time. It's such fun to see Julian and Hugh Grant together, so much handsomeness is dizzying. It would be so great if they made a film together, with Julian as co-star instead of supporting actor. I wish Julian had co-starred in Maurice with Hugh, instead of James Wilby. I'm tired of Wilby, he's a very good actor but a second-rate strawberry blonde. My mind pictures scenes that are so provocative, sometimes. A handsome dark-haired man whispers to our hero " I just can't quit you, Jules...."

Now, what shall I watch tonight?

Not Brokeback mountain, by the way your mind is heading...

YEY - I finally got a copy of this... I really enjoyed it - it might not be the best film but it was still a good watch... and of course Jules was fabbo in it... the accent sounded so strange coming from his mouth - but LOVED it... and he has some of the BEST (?!!) lines... "I bet she eats it"...

Loved the accent and clips with just Julian in can be found over at youtube (via our website)

I've not yet seen this in full so pleased to see that it is on Film 4 this week - very early Tuesday am.

..have to say I didn't really enjoy this. JRT only in very few scenes ["put down the pickle "etc] & though he's good , IMO it's not worth staying up late to watch Penny

Although it doesn't quite add up to the sum of its parts it does also have John Simm.... so combined with a few appearances from Julian... ('Put down the pickle..' etc) , I think it has just about enough to keep me awake!

Yeah I agree with you Kim!

thank you - one to record and watch with the ironing me thinks
