Lies, Damned Lies, and The Damned United

The "Big Screen" adaptation of David Peace's "The Damned United" hits the cinemas this weekend. With little or nothing decent in the cinema at the moment the film is perfectly timed to capture the public imagination, especially with the Premiership title run in beginning to heat up.

Adapted from the aforementioned book, director Tom Hooper has foregone the darkness of the original manuscript and has gone for a more light hearted affair. It's hardly what you would call a comedy though...
