I love this movie so much
Pretty Good
A different way of telling a story
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
What a great Movie. A story of a small town and three mates that live for each other. From an Australian point of view it's seen as solid mateship.A movie about three Guys that get into trouble as we all have at some time or another without even trying and will they get out of it with a no luck at all. I loved this from start to finish, I am not sure if it was because I didn't know what to expect but I like the easy plot and cast of usual people in a small town where everybody knows everything.I look forward to more movies like this rather than over budgeted epic's with big stars and CGI. Bring back the hometown hit. This deserves a look, 4 out of 5 Stars from me.
though this is just a light entertaining movie, what it lack was the hard hitting black comedy that has made other movies like this; i.e. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Hard Word, Snatch, Lucky Numbers, much more enjoyable. though it could keep the charm it was aiming for, though with the back stabbing and betrayals need a more sharper edge to them. The laughs that were presented were funny, though not to the point where you would be out of breathe from the sheer bewilderment of the situation.the performances were good, though the director made all the characters to sympathetic that there wasn't anyone you would love to hate.but this is still charming even if it isn't as densely layered movie which it could have been.
I dragged my husband to see this film, and our expectations were low after reading some negative reviews. But, I knew Stewart Svaasand at Telford College (Edinburgh) so was curious to see his first feature film. I really enjoyed the first half - it was warm-hearted and all the actors were great, but it does trail off a bit after that and I even wondered how long was left (a sin in the cinema!). However, there's a nice feel about it - I think it's a good thing it's no "Shallow Grave" - what an overrated film that is, and unfavourable comparisons with that load of cr*p "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels" (which basically just looks like an overlong Bacardi ad), can only be a good thing too. This is no "Donnie Darko" but I still think it's an accomplished first feature. Very envious of Svaasand's success actually - wish I'd stuck at film ! Looking forward to the next one - congratulations from Josie
Quite entertaining for the first 45 minutes then it starts to feel like it's treading water. Trying to be a cross between 'Local Hero' and 'Shallow Grave' it doesn't have the charm of the former or the guts of the latter. Borrowing from too many other films it lacks it's own distinctive style. It would possibly make a quite watchable television drama but is out of it's depth on the big screen. The music was good. (5/10)
