Film 55 - Magicians

I had high expectations for this comedy, what with Mitchell and Webb starring, a host of other brilliant British comedy actors and actresses being involved and the script having been written by the writers of the excellent Peep Show. Those expectations were not let down, Mitchell and Webb managed to play off their brilliant comedic partnership whilst playing new but similar characters to those they had before.

The supporting cast - including Peter Capaldi and Jessica Stevenson - was excellent as suspected and the writing was just as good, including a brilliant final twist, perfectly set up.

It's just really good to watch two successive really good British films, it seems there is hope for the industry here after all.
