Byzantium

I put Byzantium on my rental list mostly because it has Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan in. Never seen a trailer and didn't read the blurb. It's a plan that's worked well before. And it delivered another great watch.

This is a film that takes an established genre and reworks it slightly. Not massively. But enough. Especially when you don't know what genre at the start. There is mystery and then an unfolding realisation of who these two women are.

There's not a lot of action, but the acting and script are both excellent.
