Movie review - “The Nothing Men” (2008) *** (warning: spoilers)

I saw this at as a play in 2003 at a theatre in Newtown. This big screen version still feels like a filmed play, but the gun toting finale works better on film than stage. I’m surprised they didn’t get David Field to shave his head like his character did on stage; they kept some stuff that they shouldn’t eg Martin Dingle Wall being specifically responsible for the death of Field’s wife (not needed), too many scenes with Field and his ill son (one or two was enough). Strong performances, well made, solid structure. Be interesting to see how it does at the box office.
