The Low Down Movie Review 2000

Not much happens in this sketchy tale of London gameshow worker Frank (Gillen), who dreams of maybe becoming a sculptor while running the prop business with his less-than-eager roommates. Tiring of their layabout ways, he moves out, facilitating his hook-up with Ruby (Ashfield), the real estate agent. Film then follows, but not too closely or attentively, their budding romance and his passive-agressiveness and growing dissatisfaction with his own life. Thraves's directorial debut is laid-back to the point of being comatose, but some interesting scenes do occur between Gillen and Ashfield.
