Rosario Dawson is a revelation and I'll watch anything with Vincent Cassel in it.
James McAvoy is amazing as always.

That's the last word I would use to describe this P.O.S… I'm a huge Danny Boyle fan, but this movie was just terrible.

I'm English and even I think that's hilariously plummy.

Not the version that's playing in UK cinemas. It's a spectacular mess. Of the three leads, only Vincent Cassel's character behaves in a remotely credible way. Rosario Dawson's character is ultimately just ridiculous. Mind you, I thought Millions was a silly mish-mash too. Steer well clear, folks.

A comparison to Welcome to the Punch is interesting – a film with a similarly miscast James McAvoy, which is simply poor on almost every level, especially the acting, writing, and direction – and surprisingly amateur given Eran Creevy's mature work on Shifty. However for some reason Trance is a far greater disappointment, and not just because it's directed by Danny Boyle. Punch is simply a clunker, an overacted pudding, underconceived and overdesigned. Trance however, is wholly empty, all surface sheen – but worse, the filmmakers' neglect of emotional storytelling and eagerness to tie up the storyline in a neat bundle results in an objectionable, moral ugliness beneath its dazzling veneer.
