Product Description
Eleven-year-old Jamie finds himself uprooted to a new home and a new school, where he is far from settled and frequently catches the attention of bullies. But Jamie understands the reasons for his dislocated lifestyle. His father, Charlie (Robert Carlyle - Trainspotting), whom he idolises and imitates, is involved in undercover activities that demand the continual shifting of identity and location. But as Charlie s behaviour becomes increasingly paranoid and unpredictable and the rapidly maturing Jamie comes to realise that the world his father inhabits is very different to the one that has flourished in his excited imagination.

His son discovers that he also has a gun.The father reveals that once the mysterious job is over, they will be paid £2 million and emigrate to America. However, when he goes to a bar to collect the money from Mr Fisher, he doesn't show up.The father becomes increasingly paranoid and dangerous (e.g. he burns out one of the satellite TV company's vans), and the son suspects that the plot may all be a figment of his imagination. The son goes to Mr Fisher's house, where Mr Fisher - merely a council official - tells him that his father had been a successful travel agent who went out of business when the satellite TV company forced his company out of its premises.The son persuades his father to go to the police, who have him sent to a psychiatric hospital; he died 12 years later. ...I Know You Know

Great to see such a cracking film based in Wales. Keeps you gripped right to the end. It is nothing like Justin Kerrigan's last film, the brilliant HUMAN TRAFFIC, which is now a bit of a cult classic. It is encouraging and wonderful to see a young director willing to risk the initial, blinding success of his first film and concentrated all his energy and effort on a second film that is such a diversion away from the clubbers' classic.
Robert Carlyle's best performance I've seen from him; the first-timer Aaron Fuller no doubt has a brilliant future in acting career for him if he keeps his head together. The two of them create an incredible chemistry that is not only convincing but heartrendingly sincere. It is a film made with heart, compassion, loving thoughts and a sense of mourning, for a time that is lost forever to the boy in the film, and perhaps to the director himself?

Justin Kerrigan's Human Traffic made a great impression when it appeared in the late 1990s. His second feature, I Know You Know, took a while to be thought out and finally made. Read the video diary which accompanies this film to find out why. Initially rather puzzling, I Know You Know draws the viewer in and becomes increasingly moving. Robert Carlyle and young Arron Fuller make a great team in what might be called an autobiographical thriller which has great touches of both humour and sadness. Personally I can't wait for Justin Kerrigan's next film.

Very different movie. I can't believe it is based on a true story. I have seen it a lot. It is a strange story and a sad one. It was interesting watching the son telling how he tried to get it made. And that he made sure his father got to outer space.

Great performance by Robert Carlyle, but someone should have explained to the writer and director that you need a bit more than good actors and bad language to make a movie worth... Read more

I punt watched this, due to being a Carlyle fan, and that is all I think this would appeal to. A very different film for the 'Human Traffic' director, this film's plot is somewhat... Read more
