The Host (15)
Directed by Andy Newbery
IN THE HOST, a case of mistaken identity — or split personality — starts off as a predictable drugs crime thriller which, initially set in London, takes a macabre turn once the action moves to Amsterdam.
In it, London banker Robert Atkinson (Mike Beckingham) steals £50,000 from his employers to fund a new life.
