Gripping first half, 8 February 2005

Author: pawebster from Europe

Part one of this two-parter had me really gripped. The double plot was a great idea and it was a mystery how it would all turn out to be interrelated. This also threw light on the moral aspects of the -- at first seemingly 'victimless' -- crime. The acting was good, too.

The second half was a bit of a disappointment, however. The tension was gone, as all the key things had already happened. What was left was a rather depressing and unhappy sequence of events as things just went from bad to worse for all concerned. Slightly unbelievably perhaps, Natalie suddenly turned into something of a super criminal and mistress of disguise.

Seen both parts now, 10 October 2006
Author: danngil from Canada

Can anyone tell me why TV Listings in a newspaper never say that a movie is in two parts? Do they want to sabotage a competing medium that much? As a result, I ended up viewing only the first part of Final Demand without seeing the second episode. Despite that, I entered a good review based on half the job. Now, I've seen both parts, thanks to knowing this movie comes in two parts. I'll stick with my original impression and add a few more comments.

As with most European movies, the writing is tighter than in North America. With 4 hours to work with, the character development is better. here are several pathological character types portrayed, such as the amoral twenties-something, the shy, fat girl, the horny philandering Head of Personnel, the pushy mother, the alcoholic father who can't communicate, etc.

A few quibbles with the writing. Why Natalie isn't caught sooner by a sharp auditor checking the telephone charges is something beyond my understanding of the business world. Probably the British Society of Chartered Accountants should sue? As for the photography, I've drive the road from Bristol to London and it's never been as empty as shown in this movie.

This was my first time to see Tanzim Outhwaite in a drama. This actress is one of the coldest, most sinister and manipulative movie bitches I've ever seen. You just know the bitch is putting on Liam Cunningham when she offers sweetly to turn herself in. Hopefully, more of her craft will be shown on this side of the Atlantic.

Finally,a slip up in Outhwaite's post East Enders career, 24 April 2003
Author: davideo-2 from Birmingham,England

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs

Following East Enders with a string of great performances in the likes of Out of Control and Red Cap,Tamzin Outhwaite finally slips up with Final Demand,a plodding,episodic tale,in which she certainly looks very attractive,but is in fact acted off the screen by her co star Simon Pegg in the supporting role.Tom Vaughn's already laboured direction is forced to drag on even further toward the end with an unnecessary sub plot involving a father's (Liam Cunningham) quest for revenge.There are a few nice touches here and there,but generally speaking,this is a bit of a let down considering Outhwaite's previous fine work.**
