Agree, as ever, Simon…Rosamund Pike is seriously underrated. She can successfully do both the heavy drama and the light comedy that others have tried and failed at.

She was probably a little derailed, or perhaps set back, by her Bond ‘debut’, as was Gemma Arterton, another whose beauty distracts from proper and serious consideration of her acting chops. But hopefully now, Pike will go on and be taken seriously…and the same goes for Arterton.

Will try to catch this in a cinema on your recommendation, Simon.

Ta!

This sounds so good, I'll definitely put this on my watch list as I can totally relate having to be picked up by my dad after having some vehicular mishaps back when I was in college. Thanks for putting this on my radar Emperor, and I want to join your Rosamund Pike appreciation society!
