Terminally out of sorts

THE World Cup provides perfect cover when you want to dump a bad film. Cinema visits are down, so few will ever set eyes on Terminal, a so-bad-it’s-good film in the running for Turkey of the Year.

This noir thriller stars the talented Margot Robbie — Oscar-nominated for I, Tonya — who plays a winsome waitress, a pole dancer and a Hitchcock-style blonde vamp in what might seem to be a bad case of multiplepersonality disorder.

But it turns out that she’s a manipulative killing machine.

Set in a neon, lawless English city in an unspecified time before mobile phones, the film was actually shot on the cheap in Budapest. The sets are like cardboard cut-outs.

The plot is sub-Quentin Tarantino, and the stilted script lets everyone down.

The cast includes Simon Pegg as a man on his last legs, Mike Myers as a cleaner, and Max Irons and Dexter Fletcher as bumbling gangsters.

The main mystery here is how so many smart actors ended up in this stinker.
