Few weeks ago I viewed British made movie called unimaginatively "I against I". The title refers to names of two characters, however movie is so unmemorable I could not remember what they are, Isaac and Ivan, Igor and Idiot, something else, who cares. If you still care, go watch this movie, I can guarantee you wont care by time its over and you feel 84 minutes of your life slipping away.
First problem with this movie is its 84 minutes. That happens to be minimum running time required to show it in theaters, and when movies come up short on running time, they pad it. Well, this movie "I against I", more than likely was over and done in 15 minutes, if that, so 70% of this movie is pointless waste of time and unimaginative padding.

Movie review "I against I" and a bit on ethics
How to recognize two IMDB reviews and plot summary written by the same person.
Review 1 :
Set in a metropolitan underworld, two very different protagonists are unwittingly caught in a slowly escalating nightmare over one night in which each has to find and eliminate the other or be killed himself. It is only through flashbacks and sudden twists that we the audience gets to find out what is really at stake, and to disentangle the motives in this psychological thriller. As a plot it really works well.
It may not be a big budget gangster movie from Hollywood, but there are enough close up car chases and fast action for one critic to have written that it's a bloke's film. Yes, but it's also a film you can watch alongside your girlfriend or boyfriend. Why? Because it has universal themes of someone ordinary being pushed beyond their limit, and love that ultimately has no limits. So we voted it our film of the month. There are 12 of us in the film club and we see 50-60 films a year. Go watch it.
