Viewing Notes

This is the very sad case of the description not matching the film at all. It’s a mystery where an American inherits a house in the countryside outside of London but is not allowed to visit his estate and has some squatters staying there forcing him away at gunpoint. One of them is a cute woman he met on the cruise over to London. Mystery! Why is she there? Why won’t they let him visit his property?

Also There’s some gangsters who also came over from NYC to look for some hidden treasure at the house. Just to add to the mystery I guess. At the very very end they exposition drop and it’s so fucking stupid.

I’m just angry bc I wanted this movie to deliver on that description, which is also in IMDb.
