I saw this film when it first came out and was delighted to see it available on DVD. It's a sweet film suitable for the whole family (although some might have a tricky time following the Scottish accents) with some very funny moments. There are one or two holes in the plot but overall it's a charming film. And you definitely don't want to miss that gorgeous Scottish countryside.

I bought this movie because of a reference to Big Country doing the music for it. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. It's not quite what I would call "laugh out loud" funny but there are quite a few great moments. Once I started watching I couldn't wait to see what came next. Excellent acting, great music, unique and entertaining plot (although the ending was fairly predictable). All in all, well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little-known, but wonderful film, January 23, 2008

I can't believe this is finally available on DVD! I have been waiting a very long time for this.

What initially drew me to this film was the fact that Big Country wrote and performed the soundtrack. But I am so glad I watched it, as it is an absolute gem. It is the tale of 2 friends in Scotland who decide to earn a little extra money by holding up tour buses and robbing the rich tourists of their cash and jewellery. Disguising themselves by wearing wolfman and clown masks, they lead the police on a merry chase through some truly stunning parts of Scotland. They even become tourist attractions themselves, with people clamouring to be on the buses that are most likely to be held up. Highly recommended if only for the breathtaking scenery and the wonderful soundtrack.
