About this movie

Comedy drama as Robert Carlyle plays Barney Thomson, a downtrodden barber who has fallen from grace in his meagre barbering life. One day whilst almost losing his job, Barney comically falls into the unthinkable role of a serial killer. As he sweats out his predicament, and attempts to clumsily cover his tracks, a police detective investigating a series of murders in the area begins to suspect Barney may not be all he appears to be. All the while Barney’s mother Cemolina cheerfully emasculates her son, setting off a bloody chain of events.

Ratings and reviews

I watched it on Amazon with the 99p rentals and I'm so glad I did. It's funny and doesn't take itself too seriously. Great acting too.

Classic British dark comedy. Highly recommended.

Dark humour was great, a very good film. A must watch.
