Movie Info

A nobody walks a dangerous path in a bid to become a big-shot in this gritty drama from the United Kingdom. Tony Cocozza (Ian Hart) is a small-time Scottish vocalist with a gimmick -- he loves the music of Frank Sinatra, and his repertoire consists almost entirely of songs associated with Ol' Blue Eyes. While Tony has a good voice and can bring off Sinatra's material quite well, he's a clueless nebbish offstage and hasn't been able to advance his career beyond the bottom rungs of the Scottish

A smalltime flick in which a smalltime crooner accidentally becomes a smalltime hood.

Kind of like 'Swingers' but with colorful Scottish accents!

Capaldi has found a neat way to stand the mafia movie genre on its head at times.

Loaded down with gritty Glasgow atmosphere and authenticity, and works so well as an ensemble piece.
