Enjoyed this light comedy heist. It is kind of like an old screwball comedy. It is fast moving film with a lot of twists and turns to the plot. There is no gritty realism and very little black humor. It is filmed in Northern Ireland with a very likable cast including Brendan Fraser, Colm Meaney, and Yaya DaCosta.
... View MoreI have always been a fan of Brendan Fraser, who excels at playing gauche clunking heroes. The rest of the cast, though unknown to me turned in great performances. My congratulations to all involved.I am Irish and I appreciated the humour and dialogue in this movie. The plot kept me guessing to the end. Acting and direction were perfect. There are plenty of LOL moments for those with healthy humour glands.This film's quality revived my drooping spirit.I will keep this director on my watch list-I also enjoyed Hotel Rwanda.
... View MoreWhole Lotta Sale or Stand off, whichever title this is being released (Germany was the former), I think will define the expectations of people watching it. I can not account for that, off course. Stand off does sound more intriguing, which can be seen in the main picture, but maybe says too much, while Whole Lotta Sale does not say anything at all, about the movie as it is.Brendan Fraser has a nice little role, but it's the supporting cast, that makes the movie. There are some refreshing and funny takes on things (being Scottish vs. the Rest, Family issues in general and more). If you can dig those little things, you might come to like this movie more than the rating suggests on IMDb
... View MoreI was an extra in this film and have been waiting for ages for it to come out, I have just ordered it off Amazon. In some of the scenes I was standing right beside David O'Hara as he was talking to his crew and the camera. It was a great experience and I got my photograph taking with so many characters from the film. If you live in Northern Ireland go to www.extrasni.com you might get a spot in Game Of Thrones, Dracula or any of the other great shows filmed here.The whole experience was great, I was looking for the film Whole Lotta Sole which was the original title, until I came across its new title Stand Off...so I'm hoping I will see myself.... cant wait...The trailer looks great !
