This movie is amazing! Very random and very different – expect to be surprised.
As most of you will know, it was the last film Heath Ledger worked on before tragically passing away, so there’s a very bittersweet twist to the entire movie. However, with slick editing and appearances by Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law, you wouldn’t actually know the lead star passed away one third of the way through filming just by watching it.
This film isn’t just about catching a last glimpse of Heath, it’s a fantastic flick that will captivate you, and take you on an eclectic ride…

I loved this movie - it felt really dreamlike. I think they did a great job of changing the actor’s for Heath’s role and it felt like it had been planned that way the whole time.
I also thought supermodel Lily Cole was suprisingly good actor and her stunning looks were perfect for her slightly bizarre character.
Definitely a film worth seeing. Expect the unexpected.
