The Man Who Lost His Head (2007 TV Movie)
4/10
"Star vehicles" should be taken off the road
7 September 2007
I don't know how Martin Clunes ever reached the dizzy heights of star vehicles -- no, actually it's much more than that. Here we're talking something closer to vanity project set in a long-haul holiday destination. It's a total mystery how Clunes got to this point, but somehow it happened and ITV picked up the tab in a sad attempt to revive its flagging ratings.

This film drags on for a long time. It could have been fitted into half an hour with little loss. Frankly, it's boring. You can watch large parts of it quite efficiently at 4x speed. It's still very easy to work out what's going on, since the plot and characterisations are clichéd.

Forget it.
