Probably a bit too 'art house' cinema for some, but I love Tarkovsky and have copies of all his films.

Probably the most accurate depiction of British spy-craft during the '60s (along with 'Callan'); unlike the sheer fantasy of the Bond franchise.Quote:

'Beneath Loch Ness' (2001)
What if you decided to make a film but couldn't really be bothered to come up with a story? You'd just pick a story that's already been made, change a few names and then make a very bad film.
In this case the story ripped off is Jaws. Only instead of being a shark that is killing people and scaring the tourists away it is the Loch Ness monster.
Bennet from 'Commando' is in this as is Patrick Bergen and Lysette Anthony (no longer at the height of her powers but you still probably would). But it is indescribably shit. I was up at Loch Ness last summer for a week and although I didn't go everywhere I really don't remember it looking like California. And I've been to California and its similarity to the Scottish Highlands was marked by its absence.
And that is probably the best thing about this film. You get a bit of stock footage of the real Loch Ness then you cut to the actors, who are supposedly standing on its shoreline, and they are in California. Quite obviously, no intention of trying to hide it, they are in California. There are palm trees and everything.
They go to a pub and it is just an American bar, they go to the hospital and all the nurses are wearing American nurse uniforms. The bloke even pays at the bar in dollars. I didn't try that in Scotland but I'm willing to bet that it won't work.
And you may be surprised to learn that the Coastguard is now 'H M Coastguard'. And that their Scottish HQ is located in California.
Kubrick managed to film 'Full Metal Jacket' in London when it was set in Vietnam. And you couldn't tell. So what the problem was here I can only guess at.
In summation, not as bad as 'Stonehenge Apocalypse' in the same way that Bono is not as bad as Bob Geldof.
