Good Film, Great Acting!

This is a good film but what is great about it truly is the acting. I agree with the other poster here that the acting is phenomenal and the main actors in this movie truly shine as though they really are the characters they are playing in this film, 100% believable in their roles. Big congrats to the cast of this one for their great work. I only saw this by happenstance because my friend taped it on a cable channel years ago by mistake and we were looking for a tape to record a show while we were out and I said not to tape over this because it looked interesting, how about that? It's about the working class in England and seems to be very realistic about these hard working people who sometimes have very dangerous jobs they simply don't have any other choice of making a living. I am surprised never to have heard of this movie before but if you get a chance to watch it I would say check it out for sure if you are a fan of good acting :)

Trivia
The characters' local regional and Cockney accents were so heavy that the film provided subtitles, even for British audiences.

Goofs
Between 7:56 and 8:00 minutes in, as Robert Carlyle enters his squat for the first time, the boom is clearly visible under the ceiling and the boom operator on the left as Robert walks by.
