User Review

off beat, grim, funny, outrageous, watchable, well acted and sexy!

Rating:

made back in 2001 by the now sadly defunct channel 4 films, this gritty
low
budget brit black comedy about everyday sheffield life is (for all it's
flaws) marginally better than UK films of it's ilk. featuring an
outstanding
performance by marc warren before he went 'hustle' along with probably the
most graphic orgy scene i've ever seen in a cinema; i must admit that the
movie never bored me! basic story is about this scottish bloke who gets
hooked up with a single mum whilst he also gets chummy with a
photographer/psychopath he meets via a head on car collision who has a
taste
for organising bare knuckle fights for 11 year old boys. what ensues
throughout is a well observed portrayal of pub strippers, one night shags,
jobcentre interviews, and other aspects of admirable northern bohemia
('been
there, done that').
