Shallow plot?

Shallow Grave (1994)

Danny Boyle makes his directorial debut with this film staring Kerry Fox, Christopher Eccleston and Ewan McGregor. After their new flat mate overdoses three friends decide to keep the suitcase full of money he has but paranoia and greed get the better of them.

This film follows a fairly predictable path given the subject matter right up till the end where plenty of double crossing takes place but is still an enjoyable watch. The best performance in the piece is from Christopher Eccleston who goes from being an average boring accountant to creepy, paranoid terror of the flat over the course of the film. The final sequences do lack a little tension which would have really helped the films ending.

3/5
