   3/10 at best   
      
   The script was amateur to say the least - seriously schitzo and    
   pointless all over the place - in urgent need of a half decent script    
   editor guys   
   The weeping angels have been done to death (as have daleks and cybermen)    
   (Total lack of creativity now becoming a bit obvious  - I could suggest    
   some reading... Try Cliff Simak or Silverberg... )   
   Most people probably wouldn't notice how bad it was because of the    
   overpowering volume of the soundtrack creating a blip-vert effect   
   (for those that know what that is)   
   The film noire opening was over egged and a bit tacky - a genuine    
   american with a genuine accent might have calmed it down but why it    
   was even there in the first place I can't fathom.     
      
   The direction was good - the acting great (as always it seems)    
   The sets and effects as good as who has ever been -     
   And the finale was a mark of the writers brilliance bursting through at    
   the last moment - (and he IS that good some of the time - which is why    
   this is so dissapointing)   
      
   Luckily there is xmas and next year to look forward to.    
   And jenna-louise - oh my - I've been in love for so long already    
   and now this..... as much as I hate net cliche's .... jenna ....sigh!
