Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Steineded How sad is this?

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Paul Evans I wasn't sure what to expect, a fairly absorbing movie dramatising the life of infamous Glaswegian Paul Ferris. A gangster with a degree of notorioty, the film puts him in a fairly good light, I'm not too sure that was the case in real life events. Well acted for the most part, Martin Compston is always a great performer, he brings the film to life. I have to say I loved Rita Tushingham's turn as Rita, not in it for long, but she was great. The violence was well realised, hard hitting and visually strong, great effects, explosions etc. The period detail was excellent, great cars, clothes etc. It's not a film I'd make a regular watch, but a decent watch nonetheless. 6/10

McEwansExported This film is truly awful. The lead actor is totally out his depth as a Glasgow gangland enforcer and the way the story was portrayed was nothing short of a pantomime in it's attempt to position the lead character as the hero.Does this film have any redeeming qualities? No!If you think you will see a good British gangster film full of big characters, violence, betrayal and other must have ingredients you are wasting your time.Do not bother to watch this, you will be angry at how amateurish it is.

Rich Wright Oh, I'm tired of this kind of film. So tired. I've seen it a million times before... And the usual 'Based On A True Story' moniker doesn't get it off the hook either. It's grown men acting like little boys in a big city (In this case Edinburgh) double crossing each other to prove who's top dog, while a corrupt police force looks on. There's drugs, booze, a strip joint with the ugliest broads this side of Essex, and a lead character who wants to leave this pointless rivalry and make 'a fresh start'. How nice. All the usual clichés in one place.Something tells me this script was approved by it's real-life subject Paul Ferris, as it shows him as a real family man, who managed to recover from a rough upbringing to become a big name on the streets. He might have got involved in a few shady dealings... but most of the time he was fitted up by the coppers, and what he did do was to support his wife and son. Besides, everyone else around him was so vile and nasty that his own antics paled in comparison. YAWN. Change the record.Next up: A wart-and-all biopic of Ronnie Biggs, who was a good chap at heart and only committed The Great Train Robbery because he needed medicine for his sick mother. You heard it here first... 5/10

le roy mitchell As a so called Glasgow "mean city" movie, this was average. The male leads were believable though the female actors were let down by a poor script. Although,John Hannah as Tam McGraw(The Accountant) was laughable.Martin Compston as Paul Ferris was very believable, if somewhat restricted by the supporting cast. Stephen McCole as Arthur Thompson Jr was basically the same character he played in Orphans but on coke. Peter Mullen made Neds a couple of years earlier and the storyline is basically the same. Also the "Operation Good Guys" connection was a distraction. TV dramas Just a Boys' Game and Just another Saturday have done the Glasgow period crime story SO much better.
