Weird, crazy, insane, loved...

The kind of bizarre and exaggerated movie I love, adorable black humor, improbable situations, absurd actions, I was laughing to myself, and the plot twist, my dad, what a delight, I rejoiced, what a cute mommy... What was that ending, wow, weird, crazy, insane, loved...

Quite funny and very dark

If you appreciate a good black comedy as much as I do, you will enjoy this flick. It was well done. I give Carlyle a lot of credit for his directorial debut with an excellent performance by Emma Thompson, who was a riot.

Overall it was quite a nice ride, very entertaining stuff. If you don't have a sense of humor, you will not get this film at all.

Carlyle's directing debut

Glasgow police Detective Inspector Holdall (Ray Winstone) leads the failing investigation into a serial killer who dismembers his victims. He gets demoted and has to report to rival Detective Inspector June Robertson (Ashley Jensen). Barney Thomson (Robert Carlyle) is a bitter mediocre barber and nobody likes his angry demeaner. His boss Wullie Henderson fires him and he accidentally kills Wullie. He brings the body home and his mom Cemolina (Emma Thompson) chops it up for unknown reasons.

Robert Carlyle tries his hand at directing. The material has some dark humor. The cast is stacked. It works to some extend. Carlyle needs a more daring visual eye to fully satisfy the material's dark surreal potential. It's a solid debut but he doesn't have an unique enough style. He remains a great actor but his directing career is still in doubt. At least, Emma Thompson seems to be having loads of fun. The movie sings whenever she's with Carlyle.
