The Wee Man (2013)
Accents were bad bordering on humorous

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.
