Additional InformationDavid A. Stewart (of the Eurythmics) makes his directing debut with this film starring three of the members of pop group All Saints, Nicole & Natalie Appleton and Melanie Blatt. They play the Chase sisters, a trio of gun toting Cockneys who dive into the criminal underworld, stealing from the rich while keeping it for themselves, and experimenting with sex and drugs. Set in a suitably candy colored, trippy version of England in the late 1960s, HONEST is a bizarre comedy that features at least one memorable chase sequence as well as one very long trip sequence in which the girls take an unexpected dose of hallucinogens after eating some suspicious cupcakes.
Entertaining, unusual and interesting. Well worth it.
Film: I'd never heard of the film but came across it in an unrelated article and was Interested as I liked the musical work of the director. I read some reviews and they were really polarized, from "appalling nonsense" to "potential cult classic". I really liked it. Most of the actors were unknown to me and three I only knew as 80s pop singers but I liked the acting and the dialogue. Entertaining locations which were filmed well and I've seen many well regarded films which were much more poorly directed and edited.
Disc: good quality; sound and image fine.
The acting is awful. The story even worse. Got to be one of the worst films that I've ever had the misfortune to see. An abomination. A waste of electricity.
