Product Description

Synopsis
A woman and her kids set off in search for her husband. When she finds that he is broke she embarks on a series of raids...

From the Back Cover
Penniless and with their homes in flames, Bernadette and her brood set off in search of her 'good for nothing' husband, Spendlove Snr. Unable to prise a brass farthing form him, the 'James Gang' embark on a series of smash and grab raids. Jewellers, supermarkets and bookies are all turned over in Bernadette's attempt to keep the family together. Despite unwilling accomplice Spendlove Snr's supply of an assortment of dodgy getaway vehicles, Bernadette narrowly avoids capture as she is determinedly pursued across the country by an increasingly sympathetic mother, Detective Julia Armstrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars the film to buy......., 26 Aug 2002
"The James Gang" is a totally charming movie based on the difficult life of the "James" family on the run from police after a series of robberies commited by the family in an attempt to help keep them together. The leading role of "Spendlove jnr" is delightfully played by very talented Darren/David Brownlie, they truly add real life and emotion to this film with a heart touching closing climax to the story. I truly recomend this treasured film - every household should have one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Well shot and Clever British film. Excellent score., 3 Aug 2000
The James Gang is an interesting exploration into the female psyche. Desperate mother Bernadette carries out a spur-of-the-moment robbery at a Jewellers in London, and this inspires her crime spree across the country. Useless karoake-loving husband Spendlove Senior, inadvertantly provides a series of useless getaway vehicles and eventually deserts his family for the second time. Bernadette and the rest of the James gang are pursued (half-heartedly in the latter half of the film) by a female detective shacked up with Aidan Quinn who plays a minor but amusing role. Artistic undertones about seagulls (!) are introduced into the film from the start. Bernard Butlers excellent score complements the film with highly relevant songs from popular contemporary artists such as the Fun Loving Criminals, Cast and conversely The Cranberries. A Clever and heart rendering twist occurs at the end of the film with the romantic appearence of Spendlove Sr's brother Frank and the apparent death of Bernadette's son Spendlove Jr (Which I wont spoil for you by telling you about it !). Overall, definitely worth a couple of hours of my time.
