Tullybridge is a one-horse town in the middle of nowhere in the Scottish highlands. Nothing much happens in Tullybridge until close friends Fitz (Sives), Nellie (Robertson) and Seany (McKidd) accidentally find gold.

I had never heard of this film before in any shape or form so I took a bit of a chance when I ordered this DVD. I have to say that I wasn't disappointed and I found 'One Last Chance' to be an amusing 92 minutes.
There are a number of familiar faces here - including Kevin McKidd who went on to star in the epic BBC/HBO 'Rome' series, Dougray Scott, Iain Robertson (Rab C. Nesbitt) and perennial Scottish hardman, Jimmy Chisholm (Braveheart, Taggart etc).
The plot follows 3 Highland guys who live humdrum lives that are turned upside down when a nugget of gold is discovered near their village. They then proceed to dig a deeper and deeper hole for themselves as they get caught up in a spiral of debt, fall foul of the local hardman and his gang, and even accidently kill someone while joyriding a stolen car.
There are a number of quirky moments, good one liners and a few twists and turns in the plot. Don't get me wrong, 'One Last Chance' would never have won any awards and at times the acting is rather wooden (almost akin to a school play in some of the dialogue exchanges) but if you take this film for what it is - low budget, funny and a bit different - then you'll enjoy this amusing Highland tale.

I liked the film as it is very entertaining and away from the usual American over the top effects type of movie. I'd definitely reccommend to anyone wanting a cheap film to have on standbye for a night in.

Like the previous viewer I had never heard of this film. But I got it and me and the wife found it to be a very enjoyable film, with some quality comedy moments and good fun. Highly recommended!

one first laugh
Never knew this existed till seen in recomendations. A bit of a let down as it seemed a bit contrived. Ending was a bit rushed. Not in the same league as Bill Forsyths comedys.

Enjoyable, a Blockbuster (?) well, not really
We enjoy Dougrey Scott's movies and this little story was a treat for exiled Scots. For that it gets a 'thumb's up' but ye'll no be having to scratch your head working out the... Read more
