I think it is sometimes better to watch a film without having read any of the reviews. Had I read the reviews of 2010’s British film, London Boulevard, I probably wouldn’t have readily watched the film on DVD as I did recently.

I was fortunate not to have scoured the net before watching the DVD because I liked the film.
