Dundonian Delight!

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.

Pretty Rubbish

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.

Stop rating your own movie

I do wish this yesteryear practice of getting your friends to 'review' your film would stop. No one but no one can think this is 10/10..It's complete rubbish. The truth,[oh that, is there is zero story being told here, and considering Davie in real life has so many stories to tell, that's the tragedy of this horror. It has it all, bad editing, a dirty lens, I kid you not, and barley any errrr music in it. Had they of made a documentary then it could of been really something. But like everything in the music biz, that would only upset the hand that feeds.

subtitles needed

Love going to local film festivals and finding a gem. Unfortunately this is not one of them.

Not original story, not much to hold you to the film and the acting was so bad.

Could not understand a word. Ive seen a lot of Scottish films but this is the 1st time that some of it really needed to have subtitles. Its not the accent, it seems to be the actors just mumbling along.

Some great shots and location seems to fit the time line that's the only positives I can give.

In short not worth seeing.

A great little British movie that does not try to jump the shark

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.
