Going Off Big Time

A comedy-drama Scouse gangster flick from 2000 starring him out of Peep Show (Neil Fitzmaurice) and her off Green Wing who "dances like a wolf" (Sarah Alexander), alongside a supporting cast that includes that bloke who just talks to great applause about things you used to do or buy in the 70s (Peter Kay) and the legendary Stan Boardman.

On the whole, I reckon, it's an easy-to-watch and entertaining mix of likeable and nasty characters with just enough gritty unpleasantness to keep it gangster yet still enough laughs and smiles to keep things light.

Anyone seen it?

It's on YouTube in full here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDY4oO5R2XM if you're interested.

I'll take that as a no then.

I tried the link but it doesn't work anymore.

Sorry, Gordon.

They must've whacked the uploader. Darn gangsters.

Good movie.

Would be nice if Neil Fitzmaurice (and Dave Spikey) could have some more success.
