Poor sound, poor lighting, 13 February 1999
Author: grinna from melbourne, australia

A very non-convincing performance by Sheen. Does he think that mumbling his lines will have audience approval - in the worn-out manner of the drawling James Dean? I watched this video and constantly had to rewind and replay and listen again to what Sheen was saying; quite comical really when you consider that the other actors had broad Scottish accents. Poor sound and poor lighting also contributed to a frustrating movie. 4 out of 10. Strong performance from the Scottish Police inspector.
