Minghella the writer provides enjoyable and original material - thus the prostitute (Vera Farmiga) who ends up sat in the car as partners Jude Law and Martin Freeman are staking out their office; and when the culprit breaks in but Law and Farmiga are too busy talking to notice; or Law following the boy and then employing his mother Juliette Binoche to repair clothes. Whilst this is going on, Law's marriage to Robin Wright Penn is getting severely disrupted by her autistic daughter Poppy Rogers. Rafi Gavron is the young man and Ray Winstone is just right as an understanding copper who in the end knows exactly what deception is going on.
It's beautifully cut by Lisa Gunning, the music by Gabriel Yared and Underworld adds something, Benoit Delhomme shot it. Assistant editor Katie Weiland went on to cut Minghella's No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency as well as episodes of big series like Taboo and Slow Horses.
