Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

A good while ago I saw on YT a COMPLETE showing of the ITV show called The Tonight Show (Major Fraud) which I enjoyed & watched over & over remembering the infamous episode of who wants to be a Millionnaire (the coughing scandal)For quite a long while the complete episode stayed on you tube, then what do I find recently not only as it been broken up into parts, but parts 1-6 have been removed due to copyright. I made it quite clear to the relevant people that it was illogical to put it on if there was copyright issues & questioned as to why it was put on at all I had to make a complaint to viewer services (from ITV) & to YT rights & request they remove it & made a request to have this put onto a DVD, which the enquired & what do you know a 3rd party refused & why? copyright rules So Id like to know how many people think it is stupid to put up a show that had copyrights on YT ONLY TO REMOVE ITPLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS
