Synopsis
A love story set in the near future where single people, according to the rules of The City, are arrested and transferred to The Hotel. There they are obliged to find a matching mate in 45 days. If they fail, they are transformed into an animal of their choosing and released into The Woods. A desperate Man escapes from The Hotel to The Woods where The Loners live and falls in love, although it is against their rules.
Thoughts
Talk about a (tail) tale of two halves. The first perfectly cooked, the second over done. Colin Farrell once again shows off his comedic chops, with perfectly timed execution – leaving us in stitches during the first half. But when the love story kicks in and the truth about “The City” is revealed, this become stale and drawn out very quickly – which a stronger edit before general release could well fix.
