Orphans
Director: Peter Mullan
Actors: Douglas Henshall, Gary Lewis
Release Date: Monday 30th November -0001
Running time: 101 minutes
Four siblings experience rage, disbelief and acceptance during their mother's wake in Peter Mullan's (My Name is Joe) directorial debut. Stabbings, headbutts and murderous revenge are the order of the day; an interesting premise in Sicily, maybe, but in Glasgow the plot ends up contrived and riddled with lame metaphors.
