The decision the producers of this film to use Edinburgh accents for events and characters set in Glasgow really annoyed me. They missed an opportunity to make a really gritty film. The authentic hard-man Glasgow accent is terrifying. If they thought it was impenetrable for the wider audience, what is the problem with subtitles? This has got to be better that the RSAMD/voices. There are some recognizable actors which brings a smile, were they convincing as lower-demographic Glaswegians? Not by a mile. Stephen McCole as Junior Thompson steals the show performance wise, I am sure we will be seeing more of him,hopefully with improved direction and screenplay as there are bits of this which made me guffaw with derision.
