Reviews Featuring James Cosmo

All the Queen’s Men
This is a rather average cross-dressing comedy, worth watching for Eddie Izzard’s performance.

Urban Ghost Story
This is a decent but not outstanding low-budget British supernatural thriller that makes a good start but fails to really capitalise on it.

Trainspotting
Gritty and raw but appealing and even entertaining examination of wasted lives and drug addiction. Not to be missed.

Braveheart
It might be a load of nonsense from an historical point of view, but ‘Braveheart’ still produces the goods entertainment-wise. But does it really have to be so long??

Honest
A poorly-written waste of time that even the finest cast in the world would struggle to make interesting.

Man Dancin'
Do not, under any circumstances, go to watch this with anyone called “Little Mo”.

One Last Chance
A hidden gem in more ways than one.

Troy
Visually stunning, but totally hollow in every other department.

Battle of Britain
Sit back, think of Britain, and try to ignore the fact that it’s not half as good as it should be.

The Reckoning
Medieval monotony.
