1. I think that total film would be the most appropriate film magazine to include for an article
on our film. This is because it is an informal wide aimed publication, which would catch a
large readership and potential viewers; also it creates reviews on a large number of
different film genres. This means that if we were to complete our film it is likely that it could
be reviewed by this magazine as it isn’t quite so high brow as other publications like sight
and sound, nor is it a brief look at the new films in a magazine like heat. It also seems to
take in a broad view of the films it reviews and gives sound evaluations which would not
only help potential viewers but help the producers and directors of any film.

2. Retire the runner is an entwining, wild ride of a thriller.
Despite being a low budget first release the English borne film is something to be considered as
pretty darn good. At first sight it may not seem fairly clear and technique and scripting rather basic,
but as with many a classic it grows on you with time.
From the slow, fading credits sequence to the calculated organisation of its deadly gang slayings,
Kaye, Barton and Blair batter home their brutal, unflinching take on a genre that’s too often
straitjacketed by stock tedium.
Murk and shadows are the film’s recipe for keeping us in a state of perpetual, dislocated dread and,
in any medium, retire the runner is a must-own – a thriller steeped in a decaying atmosphere of fear
and loathing that even new filmmakers such as Kaye, Barton and Blair will hopefully keep on
surpassing.
