K1874M Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Great film... really enjoyed it. Some wee bits could maybe have been done better but I very good watch none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerd Muller Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I've seen it. I thought it was going to be better when I watched it but I enjoyed it. I like british movies and the young lad thats the main character is funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I heard great things about Meadows' other films Dead Man's Shoes and Romeo Brass, they turned out to be pointless merde so I'm not holding out much hope for this either. He seems to be another in a long line of overhyped, zero talent British directors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Dead Mans Shoes is brilliant i thought. Still to see a Room for Romeo Brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawrrrrrrr Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Its quite a disturbing film really imo, don't see the hype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas-voss Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 It's not really a great story or anything but the things in it remind me of my childhood,not the racist stuff but the young lad especially. my best mate was a wee skinhead and his older brother was like the top skinhead in the village and i was not allowed my head shaved and my mum bought me monkey boots instead of docs.Things like the images were pretty spot,girls with ninja fringes.

Makween Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I thought that it was quite good. Not usually really into watching films, can't really sit still for long enough, but watched a few when I was signed off work and this was probably the best. Not really what I'd call fantastic, though, just quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaby Ewing Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 The wee lad with the big girl ruined it. Nice period touches, middling story tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makween Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 The wee lad with the big girl ruined it. I'd kind of half forgotten about that bit when I posted originally. Pretty weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexton Hardcastle Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 yea hes about 10 and shes about 18? bit dodgey. There would be all kinds of crys if it was the other way about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1874M Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD Nanny state etc. Nanny state... is that the kind of perversion the lass had?? I thought that was a tad weird also but put it down to the Director trying to get a point across about how the wee boy was respected by some of the older lads and lass's. Also the racism helps make the film imo... no point skirting round the issue... it happened so why not depict it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
