Schemers

Very disappointed with this film. Read the hype and thought it had potential. However, poor acting poor accents and a pretty rubbish film. Watched it to see Dundee which was the only good thing about the film. More research should have been done as the language used was not typical Dundonian. Spent half the time watching it laughing at the accents and poor acting. Not a great film rather disappointing.

Loved this film! Starts with a bang - fast paced with proper laugh out loud moments. Whole film has a warm feel to it. You really care about the lads the baddies pack a mean punch! A real gem of a film - my pick of this year's Edinburgh Film Fest.

As an actor when you appear in something it's very difficult to be objective. At the premier you sit there just preying your scenes are ok. But this time it's different. I genuinely forgot I'm in Schemers. I loved it. I laughed in all the right places. It's so good I genuinely forgot I'm in it! Schemers strength is its characters, It's situations, the brilliant tale of Dave McLean played wonderfully by the outstanding Conor Berry. But the real star of this gem of a movie is Dundee itself. A unique place with a humour and charm all it's own. I am Biased but I loved this movie. It sold out at its premier and all I heard was laughter and excitement. So proud of this wonderful movie.

I really liked this film, is is a fun tale that rattles on a good pace, is well acted and has a cracking soundtrack.

The characters are likeable and the plot is good and believable. The best thing is though is doesn't go past believable at any point like do many did British films.

A good watch I would recommend to anyone.

I saw this randomly after missing another film at the cinema and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The acting is convincing, the setting of a bleak 80's Scotland felt very genuine and it moves at a great pace. There's some good laughs in there and the historical context really brings it all together. A good watch for a rainy day, worth your time!
