Cul-De-Sac - 1966 *



I felt awful saying this but I felt really let down by this movie. Maybe I didn't understand it but I found it drawn out, flat and completely lifeless.

A married couple live in an isolated castle near the sea which becomes the centre for 2 gangsters on the run from the law. The husband and wife couldn't have less in common if they tried, and what starts off as them working together to try to free themselves from the captors turns into a rather nasty experience where the girl starts to side with the bad guy.

I barely recognised Donald Pleasence and I'm not entirely sure why he was cast in a film like this. I think he stood out like a sore thumb.

I didn't enjoy it, sorry.
