Not a great movie by any standards. Angus played Robert the Bruce in Braveheart. I was an extra in CT, SA and this was a set I worked on (one of the chest carriers in the hotel). A very good friend is in it too (cleaner calling room service). Neither of us got paid any extra for it! But that we are in it is the only reason I bought it.
Angus was great. I don't follow celebs, so didn't even recognise him when I sat down next to him when he wasn't filming. We struck up a conversation and he didn't let on he was famous or even the main star! Only afterwards did people ask me if I knew to whom I'd been talking!!

Top-notch Noir Film!
17 Jun 2005
Format:DVD
When you have talent, a good script and remarkable cast, it is almost impossible for you not to triumph, even you make a low budget picture without great and spectacular effects that just only mesmerize to the new generation of teenagers.
There is solid story behind this plot.As you know one of the classical premises of the Noir Films is that nobody is absolutely innocent. That is why many people are beaten by this circumstance.
The presence of the captivating and seductive Natasha Henstridge from the intial shots, coming to the Used Books Tent will open Pandora' box.
Through a very well articulated mechanism of dark loyalties and hard to believe solidarities, the viewer will be engaged progressively in this drama.
A personal tragedy, a love affair, several stolen millions, betrayal and passionate and complex web of facts and events will make of this film one of the most interesting movies in years that I 've seen.
Highly recommended.

Joins the film noir greats
21 Nov 2002
Format:DVD
A small low budget film with little or no publicity could join the noir greats. It has all the classic ingredients - an ice cool blonde, a bad bad gangster, and a savage twist at the end. some really interesting effects from the director with cross and jump cutting. Liked every bit of it.
I have not enjoyed a film noir so much since Blood Simple.

Stylish, twisty noir
26 Feb 2002
Format:DVD
Second Skin is a very nicely realized contemporary noir tale that is considerably elevated above the usual "cable noir" junk by its beautiful photography, icy score, and the remarkable beauty and underrated acting of Natasha Henstridge, who has never been sexier or more controlled in her performance. The director makes the most of his Cape Town locations, which look enough like the California coast to make you forget this was shot anywhere else. The plot doesn't break much new ground, but it delivers a very surprising final twist. Fans of Henstridge and the genre wont be disappointed.
