A Great Film
24 August 2013 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

A stunning film! My mum thought it was better than the original God Father, I don't know about that but I thought Martin Compston and John Hannah's performances were powerful. They was not allowed to film in Glasgow and were forced to shoot in London which was a shame but I think it come across OK. It was slated by the critics, surprise surprise, but went on to take number 2 box office average first week under Les Miss not bad for a film shot on a shoe string. All in all it is another British film and a bit of support wouldn't go a miss folks.

I went out and bought 10 DVD's and gave them to my friends... I suppose I would though being the director!
