Three and Out (DVD)

For London Underground tube drivers there must be nothing worse than someone throwing themselves under your train. For tube driver Paul Callow (Mackenzie Crook) it's even worse as two people have fallen in front of his train in a month. When his colleagues tell him that if you get three in a month you get paid off on full pay, Paul spends his weeks enforced leave trying to find someone willing to jump in front of his train. This is how he finds Tommy Cassidy (Colm Meaney) but rather than just accept Tommy as someone to run over they start to connect, will Paul still be able to kill Tommy once he gets to know him? I'd seen this advertised last year and thought ...  Read the complete review

Oh this film was so dissapointing, I really like going to see good British comedies, and their have been classics like Brassed off, Full Monty and Blackball, but this just completely let British comedy down. The films starts with Paul Callow (MacKenzie Crook - who you will remember from Pirates of The Carribean, the one with the missing eye) as a London train driver, he is harmlessly driving his train one day when someone ends up on the train tracks in front of him and he runs them over. This happens again after a small period of time at which point two of his work mates tell him that if you kill three people in a month you get a massive compensation payout ...  Read the complete review

I wanted to see Three and Out when it first came out but didn't get round to it when it was in the cinema. I recently cashed in some dooyoo miles and treated myself to a few new DVDs and books on Amazon. Seeing Three and Out was a good price I thought I would give it a go as I really liked the sound of it. Three and Out tells the story of disillusioned tube drive Paul Callow (Mackenzie Crook) who dreams of living a peaceful existence in a remote cottage in Scotland surrounded by books and writing for a living. In reality he hates his job, struggles to pay rent and is getting frustrated by the hustle and bustle of London life. To make matters worse, when at ...  Read the complete review

This film is a british comedy, and I was looking forward to watching this, but I found it disappointing. This Premiered on Sky Movies Premier 2 weeks ago and is still being shown on Sky Movies Comedy. The films starts with Paul Callow (MacKenzie Crook)as a London train driver, he is driving his train one day when someone ends up on the train tracks in front of him by accident, as their dog got a bit nosy about a rat on the train line! The man gets dragged onto the line and Paul tries to stop the train, which is impossible in the short space. He runs over the man and kills him. This happens again after a couple of weeks. At this point he finds out from work ...  Read the complete review

So how is this for Dooyoo doing its job, today I read a review of a film that I really liked the sound of so when the boyfriend said he was on his way home and did I want him to pick up a DVD rental I was able to get the film, watch it and now offer my opinion. I could just say read the review I read as it says it all about this comic drama which is very entertaining, has some funny moments but is by no means a pure comedy in my opinion. Mackenzie Crook, creepy Gareth from The Office, stars as London Underground driver Paul who has the misfortune to have two people commit suicide by jumping on the line in front of his train, now most people would ...  Read the complete review
