Great acting is showcased in Stephen Frear's dark thriller
revealing the chilling underside of London's illegal immigrants. Â Worth watching due to its dramatically realistic Oscar-nominated screenplay by Steven Knight and a fantastic performance by
Chiwetel Ejiofor for which he was unfortunate not to be nominated for an Academy Award.
