3.0 out of 5 stars Ragged Tale, January 27, 2011
By 
James D. Long (Springdale, AR, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Tiger's Tail (DVD)
Overall, this is not what I'd call a total failure but I was expecting more from John Boorman, the director who gave us the likes of Deliverance, Zardoz, Excalibur, The Emerald Forest and, one of my all-time favorites, Hope and Glory. In this uneven mix of comedy and drama, a successful Irish real estate tycoon tries to fend off an aggressive doppleganger who might be the product of his imagination or it could be his actual twin. The plot held a lot of potential and could have been an entertaining affair but it's spoiled by characters who don't ring true--the most glaring example is the main character's Marxist-spouting son. Ultimately, the tone of the film is so off-base that director Boorman could have changed the entire film into a farce by simply replacing the dramatic music score with lighter comedic cues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie!!, September 27, 2009

This review is from: The Tiger's Tail (DVD)
I love movies made in Ireland or the U.K. and this one does not disappoint. Great story, great actors. If you're into a good storyline without anyone getting blown up, decapitated, terrorized, etc., then you'll really enjoy this film.

It's OK.. not great, but OK. I had to watch it a few times, before I decided I liked it.
