Review of The Deal

The Deal (I) (2008)
2/10
Nice shots of Cape Town

Warning: Spoilers
It's a good film for shots of Cape Town.

I like the bit where they use the 'Five Flies' restaurant as a stand-in for London, by using on of the Rikki black taxis.

The actors all clearly think they're terribly funny, so I have to assume that the overall intent is comedic, but the film is so badly acted and plotted that it's difficult to be certain.

If you don't enjoy shots of Cape Town, then it's best avoided.

They did use quite a number of different locations, so there is some variety. The poor old Rhodes Memorial scrubbed down badly, I fear.

There's something essentially pointless, I think, in making films about making films - 'Extras' was a lot less interesting than 'The Office'.
