About
Well, honesty is the best policy, and I look for that in other sellers as well as myself, whilst being as transparent as possible in anything I sell, eg I don't look to make any profit from P&P! If I buy, payment will be instant via Paypal.

Bread And Roses - dead and buried. AVOID!
0 of 2 found this helpful This movie comes with great expectations and leaves you thinking 'So what?'.
It advertises itself as having a lot of big names in it. This is entirely misleading - they may be in it, but only for a few seconds in one party scene that had little to do with the plot. I felt cheated by this. It's a scam to get you to watch the movie.
The major thing wrong with this rather pointless picture is that it creates no sympathy for the protagonists - Mexican cleaners in LA who are there illegally, yet given jobs by an understanding, yet law-dodging employer in an office block. The fact that these illegal immigrants then start to demand better rights when they should legally have no job at all is a rather bizarre topic to enshrine in film. Frankly, my sympathies lay with the employer, who fed and got his hand bitten by ungrateful workers.
I was bored an utterly unmoved by their 'plight'. They chose to enter the US illegally, get jobs illegally and are now whingeing about their terms of illegal employment? Without this job, they would be picking food out of bins. So what if the emploter gets them cheaper than a legal local - that's the deal. Employer gets cheap cleaners/ illegal immigrants get a job and money. After all, no one forced them to do it - it was their choice all along.
Thw whole premise of the movie doesn't wash (excuse the pun) and Ken Loach should have far better things to do with his otherwise talented time than directing one of the most pointless films of all time.
It might appeal to some wiffy left-wingers/left-whingers, who have little clue of how the world works. They'd be better off reading The Guardian. More entertaining.
