You’ve all heard of the angel’s share, that being the small percentage that seems to evaporate into nothing while whisky is aging. Well, this films takes that idea a little further.
Robbie (Paul Brannigan) is ordered to to do community payback after attacking a couple of other guys, narrowly escaping jail as he’s a soon to be father. Finding a friend in Harry (John Henshaw), he introduces Robbie and a few others (Albert (Gary Maitland), Mo (Jasmin Riggins) and Rhino (William Ruane)) to the world of Whisky. After a visiting a whisky meeting and hearing about a rare whisky that’s about to be auctioned off, the four friends make plans to get to it and get the ‘angels share’
It is a bit slow to get going, but once it does it’s a bundle of laughs. The language is quite choice, but then again, it’s is based in Glasgow for the most part and in honesty, it adds to the realism of the characters. And we’ve all known a Albert or at least, can relate to someone like him. There is one moment near the end of the film that when we saw it, produced an audible gasp that would have made you think that the screen was full (it’s wasn’t).
Bare the slowish start and go enjoy a fun film. Oh and we do wonder if Barrs had a hand in funding this…..judging by the number of Irn Bru cans and bottles seen in the film….or maybe they’ve just realised that where all their missing bottles are!
Rating:4/5
