A Travesty,
By Si Parallel Universe "Si" (London UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: That Sinking Feeling [DVD] (DVD)
I cannot understand how a company with the resources of 2entertain can make a fundemental mistake like this and not notice. The dubbed soundtrack (presumably) for US audiences makes a mockery of a very Scottish film. It really isn't that hard to track down a copy of the OST as it was released on VHS prior to this. Will we be reduced to importing a US copy of TSF with optional Scottish Soundtrack and widescreen option a la Gregory's Girl again ?
I'm sure if North American audiences can understand the accents in Trainspotting they should have no problem with this. If anyone from 2e is reading this I'm happy to supply the correct soundtrack and help you save face.

Heartbroken,
By Lew Green (Lancashire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: That Sinking Feeling [DVD] (DVD)
If you've just stumbled upon this recent release and felt your heart leap with joy that one of your favourite Forsyth movies of all time is available on DVD... let me save you the trouble and expense. If you're positively giddy at the idea of a quiet night in enjoying this laugh-a-second classic then you'll just have to be patient. No doubt you'll have vivid memories of many scenes and relish the prospect of seeing, and hearing, them again. You may even recall the tingle of joy you got from hearing Clare Grogan say "a million and nine" in Gregory's Girl? Well if any of that rings true for you then keep your wallet in your pocket and what ever you do... don't buy this DVD until it gets reissued with the original soundtrack. It is quite simply "unwatchable". And if you're new to this and wondering what all the fuss is about... imagine watching, oh I don't know say, The Italian Job or Lock Stock... with upper class accents overdubbed. "Sounds like a laugh" you might even say? Well I wish I could! Jeez I'm gutted!

Disappointed,
By
This review is from: That Sinking Feeling [DVD] (DVD)
I have waited many years for this to be released on DVD but have been sorely let down by the terrible new voiceover. The entire feeling of the film has been completely lost. I can't understand why this had to be done as the only people who want to see this movie wanted it in it's original glory - no one else is interested. Surely they can release another version with the original voices as this one is shocking and unwatchable.
