Gordon G A Scots mining town appears to have an Oirish hero, big Liam. For just one fight, the whole place, hundreds of them, turn out to support him. His wife has a Scoatush occent, while Hugh Grant has Scattish uccent. Only decent actor in it is Billy Connolly (ironically 'The Big Yin.'). Bare knuckle punch-up, but no teeth lost nor noses broken. And somehow community spirit wins out.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review sarfaraz a The Big Man (US title 'Crossing the Line') directed by David Leland. Starring Liam Neeson, Joanne Whalley and Billy Connolly. Film's score was composed by Italian legendary music-composer Ennio Morricone. The film is based on the book by William McIlvanney. This film is also the one of Hugh Grant's early performances. Scottish miner (Liam Neeson) is unemployed during a union strike, unable to support his family. In desperate need of the money he accepts an offer made by a Glasgow gangster to fight in an illegal bare-knuckle boxing match. Here comes one of my top-favorite actors Liam Neeson again. The movie touches on rigid and compelling plot of the need of survival on accounts of one's family. Who else to portray such macho-man character than Liam Neeson - he was a perfect choice, although short of dialogues, the offers abundance of stick-out scenes. A good movie that can be watched on any Fridays. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member wanted to see this movie for a while now and i finally got to see it and i have to say i was not dissapointed its not the best movie thats ever been made by a country mile but it didnt have to be, it was amazing just the way it was made it was moving and i really got into it and during the fight scene the music accompanying it was perfect really helped set the tone that it was truly a back street fight to the death and i have to say i think liam neeson played his role perfectly and billy connolly was pure class the way he played the role serious but got his stand up comedy side in aswell with playing the idiot so to speak have to say overall was a pretty good movie even if it was a pretty dark seedy movie but i enjoyed it Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
