I'm definitely a fan of that and this movie I think succeeds in doing that, I found the acting in the film to be completely natural and organic, almost as if he just decided to let the actors shoot the shit and just act as they would if they really hanging out. I believe this is a my first Ken Loach film, but even before this, when hearing upon his techniques of withholding certain key moments in the script so the actors' reactions feel more natural, filming everything in order so the actors experience everything as they would in real life, infusing social commentary involving the working class in his films, naturalistic acting, etc. Is there anyone who can still bear to hear this song? Now, if only Loach had resisted using the utterly worn-out "500 Miles" in the soundtrack. The class-struggle subtext keeps "The Angels' Share" from being a mere caper film, and the whiskey discussions are interesting. Accepted as a knowledgeable upstart in this privileged circle, he enlists his new delinquent friends for a get-rich scheme that could lead them all to a better life.
After their good-hearted coordinator takes them on an extracurricular tour of a distillery, Robbie is turned onto the elite world of whiskey tasting. But for now, he's sentenced to a hefty chunk of community service with a small troupe of other shifty but likable youths. He has noble ambitions despite his violent streak, and aims to reform as he and his girlfriend prepare to welcome a child. Robbie (novice actor Paul Brannigan) is a Glasgow lad in recurrent trouble with the law. Considerably lighter than the typical Ken Loach fare, "The Angels' Share" is an accessible yarn more in line with director Bill Forsyth's gentle comedies.
