Though it's pretty far-fetched, I quite enjoyed this. "Kit" (Gael García Bernal) goes out for a meal with his pals "Tom" (Tom Hardy) and "Theo" (Charlie Cox) when he becomes embroiled in the celebrations of an hen night at the table next to them. His job is to give the bride-to-be her final kiss as a free woman. This kiss ends up being a bit more intense that anyone was comfortable with, and she flees the place. "Carmen" (Natalia Verbeke) is clearly impacted by this and her fiancé "Barnaby" (James D'Arcy) knows it. As the story progresses, "Kit" and "Carmen" meet again and, well you can guess what happens - expect, well you can't really. It turns out completely differently from how I was expecting - and that quirky scenario plays out in quite an original and innovative fashion. There's an hint of chemistry between GGB and Verbeke and even the handsome but wooden D'Arcy turns in a decent effort. Fans of Hardy and Cox needn't really bother - they are rarely on screen, but there is something about the sneakiness of the whole thing that worked for me. Not great, no - but the concept is a bit more unique than many.
