Best movie of this year hands down!
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
From my favorite movies..
Boring
People criticise action films for not backing up the fireworks and explosions with a story. The same applies for this drivel, lots of sweeping aerial shots of the north of England are let down by a slow storyline, where the characters' actions are rarely explained. A waste of talent and time.Extra points deducted for showing pasty-faced Northerners line-dancing. Oh, the horror.
View MoreMovie didn't have much plot and was uninteresting. Basically you spend a lot of time watching people paint. Also it's very difficult to hear or understand the dialogue -- partially because of the accents, but also because words are mumbled.
View MoreThis is the type of movie that you don't want to trash, but you have to anyway. There is too much illogical behavior, too many dramatics, and not enough things to recommend. There was a beautiful scene in a watertower and some of the aerial shots are great, but unless you are a Pete Postlethwaite completist, I'd stay away.
View MoreWritten by the man behind The Full Monty, Among Giants returns to focus on a group of unemployed Sheffield men down on their luck.Although lacking the coherence of Full Monty, Among Giants nonetheless has its moments as the electricity plyon painters are joined by a globe trotting Aussie who falls for gang leader Ray.A quietly downbeat movie, its only failing point is the casting of Postlethwaite as the ageing Ray. Can we really believe he bags the babe?
