SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Leofwine_draca On paper, CATCH ME DADDY sounds by all accounts to be a tense and exciting cross between the art-house and thriller genres, delivering something ruthless and gritty we haven't seen before. A bit like '71, the Northern Irish film. Sadly, on screen it turns out to be a complete waste of time, a movie that dashed my expectations about ten minutes in.A lot of these modern British 'kitchen sink' movies have similar problems in a lack of decent sympathetic characters. Certainly the two leads here - the Pakistani girl and her boyfriend who spend their lives hiding out on a caravan on a Yorkshire moor - are almost entirely without merit. They're uncouth, rude, self-centred, and spend the entire running time of the movie having stuff done to them rather than being proactive. I disliked them both instantly, and those feelings didn't change throughout the movie.The plodding, padded scripting doesn't help. The storyline is very simplistic, with lots of travelling around punctuated by bursts of sudden violence. Things are so slow that a ten minute interval is used to show the characters dancing to some rubbishy music, which I could have done without. Yes, the cinematography is dark and brooding and occasionally atmospheric, but for what? The ending is as predictable as they come and the overacting from the lead actress is off-putting. I hated this one from beginning to end.

tbaio-25866 Catch Me Daddy builds suspense & tension throughout its running time. It is very engaging due to the story revolving around sympathetic lead characters. This is why it ends up being somewhat disappointing when the audience is not given a definitive conclusion to the story.The story is pretty much a chase movie where a couple are being pursued by the brothers of the female along with hired thugs who plan to take the female back to their native home (she is from Pakistan but ran away to England to live with her boyfriend). For a simple & low budget movie, everything works; the locations, performances & action all shine. The script gains extra points when exposing the underlying tension between the English thugs & Pakistani family as well as how women are treated in Pakistani culture.....its disturbing.Then however, just when the pace & visceral intensity are both amped up, the story is concluded. And as a result, there are many questions left open. As to what happens to certain characters, that too is rendered a mystery. In the end, it really feels as though the movie was released even though it was unfinished.In conclusion, the film is a well shot & well told story that will leave the viewer with questions to ponder & answer for themselves.

Dylman12 "Catch Me Daddy" is a type of film we, as viewers, don't see very often anymore. It's not a particularly "deep" film but it also doesn't give you any information you don't need nor does it give you silly exposition to know something within the movie. Personally, I find it easy to appreciate that kind of film-making.Apart from some of the dialogue being hard to understand from certain characters thick accents, there are not much flaws within the film from a directing, writing, cinematography, or editing stand point. My rating is mostly based on me being a hard ass while critiquing. With a tension building plot, very cool soundtrack, stellar performances from a couple of the cast members, and a few brutal, brutal scenes, I can recommend this film to almost anyone who doesn't mind watching a movie made in a different country from their own. Enjoy!

Tom Dooley The plot is fairly simple; Leila is on the run from her family, she is hiding in Yorkshire with her boyfriend Aaron. Her brother then rocks up into town with his crew of ne'er do wells and some hired hands who are also less than appealing.They are going to leave no stone unturned in their search for the seemingly errant Leila and as ever violence begets violence and so begins a deadly chase.Now this is a really good film; it has enough tension to make you wear the edge of your seat out. The characters are brutally realised and the acting is superb. It is visceral, taught and realistic. Made with help from Film 4 and Screen Yorkshire this is a film that has used that support wisely and given a platform to showcase some real talent. Sameena Jabeen Ahmed puts in a show stopping performance as Leila, the sometimes under rated Gary Lewis ('Outlander' and 'Filth') as Tony manages to shine – for all the right reasons - in a role that at first seemed peripheral. This will be a film that will not be liked by some and the way things pan out is surprising, but that is fine by me I like to be challenged by a plot. Director Daniel Wolfe, who co-wrote this, has made a feature length film that he should be proud of and hopefully will lead to us seeing more from him in the very near future.
