I haven’t got much to say on this film except I hated it. It was depressing, grime ridden and grey. I remember attempting to read the book that this film was based on and I couldn’t get past the first chapter. I don’t know why I gave up on it as it was a long time ago but it must be the same reason that I almost gave up on the film.
For a start the main character is an obnoxious little brat who takes a baby Kestrel from its nest and keeps it captive. For that alone I disliked him immediately. His training of the bird just made me more mad. A wild creature should be flying free not being trained by some dirty little tee leaf. Half the scenes aren’t needed and the Yorkshire dialogue is so hard to understand I had to use subtitles. When the bird gets killed in the end I switched it off and almost chucked the whole thing in the bin, but I won’t. The DVD will end up in some charity shop somewhere and hopefully do some good by making a bit of cash, but I certainly wouldn’t give it house room.
Score Board: 0/10 A shocking waste of my time. Burn it.
