Your god hates me with a passion not seen in hundreds of thousands of years. Here I am all fed up from a sleeping pill and instead of sleeping Im eating hearts of palm in a sauce made up of mayo, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. I pep it up with some pepper. They are quite good but I should have been sleeping an hour ago instead of scavenging about like an insomniacal bunny! Oh, and I was watching the end of a movie I want to see which I have not seen the beginning, Heartless. Jim Sturgess (21, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE) leads a hugely-talented ensemble cast in this sublime British psychological thriller from cult UK director Philip Ridley (THE REFLECTING SKIN, THE PASSION OF DARKLY NOON), who returns to the screen after a 14-year absence. The film follows Jamie Morgan (Sturgess), born with a disfiguring birthmark across his face, which leaves him an outcast in rough East London. While wandering abandoned yards taking photographs, he comes across a gang of thugs and soon discovers that they are something other than human. He then is led into a Faustian deal that will see him become a party to the terrifying chaos around him. Part DONNIE DARKO, part Guillermo del Toro, this dark urban tale takes its audience to the darkest and most violent corners of the human heart. The film also stars Clémence Poésy, Noel Clarke, Joseph Mawle, Eddie Marsan, Luke Treadaway and Timothy Spall, and was produced by Pippa Cross and Richard Raymond. The film recently won the Best Independent Film Award at the Toronto After Dark Festival. -- (C) IFC rottentomatoes/m/heartless-2009/
