Opens with awful aftermath of some horror and Tom Hiddlestone eating a dog. No doubt what transpired to lead us to that merry point was grisly black humour involving inhabitants of awful tower block where all life is encompassed - at any rate we presume that is the point of Amy Jump's adaptation of J.G. Ballard's 1975 novel. (Jump also worked on Kill List and A Foreign Field.) Jeremy Thomas had long wanted to make it and Nic Roeg and Paul Mayerserg were on their way with it in the 70s.
I'm sorry to say that we just couldn't get into it and quit after thirty minutes. Though Luke Evans promising as violent bully.
Problems are (1) no characters you like (2) dystopia.
