It is good for a movie that takes place in a single room, but it is still just a movie that takes place in a single room. I'll admit that a provincial bias causes me annoyance upon watching it. The number of things the inspector does in the course of the movie that'd have a case thrown out and the inspector himself behind bars, but either normal laws of police conduct don't translate to the UK or for the sake of narrative, realism is being avoided at all costs. Still it makes me batty to watch this. I understand on some level it's a great movie but i really don't care for it.
