Watch Restless Natives For Free

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

indeed an excellent movie. I remember hiring it out because of the sticker on the cover saying music by Big Country. But the film itself is a joy to watch. Funny,hilarious and just the right amount of suspense to make it worth watching again and again. The DVD is out later this movie,it's a must. The soundtrack alone makes it worth purchasing. The scenery is breath-taking as well. I used to own it on video,picked it up in a bargain bucket in Ritz video and I wore the tape out. Is that enough proof for you to watch it? It was shown a number of times on Channel 4. It makes some of the movies..ie The Matrix seem lame.

It takes a lot to get around the alarmingly 80's Edinburgh featured in this movie. A lot has changed since then and since the movie is about 2 guys who are bored with their lives, the city scenes are shot in the most drab and depressing way possible. This only accentuates their adventures in the countryside.Basically Ronnie and Will are on the edge. They hate their lives so much and decide that a little highway robbery in the highlands would be just the fun they are looking for. What begins as a little fun soon leads to them becoming local heroes and, by the end, immortal legends.With good characters, some funny scenes and a nice feel-good factor towards the end, Restless Natives makes for easily diverting entertainment. It's long, long out of print and ancient VHS ex-rental copies go for £135 at online auction sites. I think a DVD release is rather overdue. I hope it comes in widescreen when it does. I am unsure or the original aspect ratio but the copy I saw was in pan and scan and the lack of wide shot in the countryside scenes felt awkward and disorientating.The mangled Glaswegian accents did NOT fit the Edinburgh setting though.

I used to watch this on video when sharing a house with a friend of mine and it became a classic apres beer movie! Seen dozens of times -Word for word, scene for scene Restless Natives will grow on you like a wart on Wills finger. True devotees of this movie unite! I am now without a copy of the movie and a poorer person because of it!Must fly... could fair go a pee m'self!!

Admittedly, I did see this ages ago, so the intervening years may have been kind; but I couldn't find much to recommend it then, and I suspect my opinion would be much the same now. Fairly witless premise (based on a true story?) handled in a pedestrian manner. For a 'comedy', I can't recall laughing too many times (except in a 'how much more stupid can it get?' way) Needless to say, that's bad.
