A Patch of Fog
A university teacher is apprehended for shoplifting by a vigilant security guard who refuses to release him. An unlikely bond forms—he becomes the guard's new best friend—and the guard whispers, 'I won’t call the cops if you come and have a pint with me.' From that provocative start, a twisted romance of sorts unfolds.

I thought this was a very good, offbeat thriller with some good twists. I was intrigued by the premiss and took a chance and am glad I did. Highly recommend if you like a good, slow build and interesting characters. Great performances, all Irish cast so most unknown to me.

Not a good'un. <em>'A Patch of Fog'</em> isn't bad per se, I just can't really tell you anything that I particularly enjoyed about it. Sure I like Stephen Graham and Conleth Hill, though I've seen better from both. The plot does have a few moments of goodness with solid twists and a neat end, though those are few and far between as they are surrounded by much mediocre-ness. Graham and Hill do make sure it remains mildly watchable, though everything else kinda hinders more than it helps the film. Despite a 90 minute run time, it makes for a slow watch - not helped by the fact that the filmmakers let the cat out the bag, so to speak, very early on, a bit more suspense/subtlety would've went a long way.
