Reviews

I revel at the age and travels of a journalist who thinks a .30 calibre machine gun is an automatic rifle.

There are sporadic insults throughout this documentary and I reject the notion that the writer of this diatribe has a drip, a drop or even a sniff of the actor and performer Charles Bronson was, is and always shall be.

I also take note that Bronson suffered premature dementia up to his demise so why quote him when he talks negatively about himself.

I consider this article insulting, juvenile, judgemental, ageist, politically woke, politically incorrect, slanderous and rather gross.

Charles Bronson and a few great characters made the success of The Great Escape and it wasn't simply down to Steve McQueen, all the cast were brilliant.

Who makes documentaries these days?

Anyone?

It sounds like it.

Even though Charles Bronson turned down or was rejected for the Sergio Leone fims which made Lee Van Cleef, Clint Eastwood and so many more actors famous, Charles was still qick to say he fitted the bill perfectly.

He was never a jaded or faded actor, he lost his wife.

God bless them both X❤

I worte poetry and delve into many movies as part of my research and as such, I was heartily warmed, drawn to tears fell over lasughing and I revel in the 1st Class cast in this film and the scenery is fabulous. This is a gem of a movie and it is very rare for the content, laughter and real life sense of irony, in a working class Scotland where you can smell the reality, the blood, sweat and tears of wasted youth trying to make a life in what was a land of unemployment, poverty and industrial destitution. But, wait, with the awakening through Big Country and the fabulous music written by Stuart Adamson, Rest in Peace, the movie comes alive with hope, a beautiful run through the Scottish Highlands and a superb guest appearance by the late Great Mel Smith playing an East End gangster teaching the hapeless youth how to delve into crime and make a life for themselves, as the 2 young local men hassle and joist towards a life they are comfortable with. This is a fabulous, never to be repeated classic Scottish film that take Hollywood apart as it is real and the viewer is cast in a journey of love, hope and discovery which is very touching and emotional at times. I watch this regukarly with a tear in my eye and a whisky at my side. Highly recommended, there should be a sequel whichg I would love, watch it, watch it, watch it and enjoy, this is beautiful cinematic magic, cheers, may yer lum reek long!!! Thank you <3 Stuart Lawson Beattie
