Borrowed Time

So a few weeks ago I managed to watch an exclusive showing of a new British drama, Borrowed Time. The film is set in London and explores the lives of two complete opposite individuals; one an old miser whom has a fondness for taxidermy, and the other an adolescent male that tried to burgle him - which is how the two meet. The purpose for the burglary was to steal enough loot to pay off an unwanted debt which has resulted on a proposed bounty on his head.
The film is heart warming and offers many laughs along the way, but you soon realize that both characters have many demons that need to be resolved.

Perhaps not the most compelling of film dramas you will watch this year, and it is not without its bizarre moments, but none the less the feeling of both animosity and friendship between the two protagonists is what makes the film an interesting watch.
