The Couchpotatoes
When two friends go on a hunting trip in the Highlands of Scotland, having a bit of fun (even though I don't think hunting is fun) and then it goes terribly wrong. It's a good little thriller, with enough suspense to keep you interested during the entire movie. The cinematography was also good, with good shots of Scottish nature. The cast was well chosen. I don't know any of the actors but they all gave a good realistic performance. It might be slow paced but that's exactly what this movie needed in the context of the story. You don't need fast action scenes with this story as the suspense is slowly building up. Calibre clearly deserves good ratings.

Just don't bother, slow, boring and pointless! I have no other words.

Really enjoyed this one , had me gripped and I really felt for the two main protagonists. I sometimes approach Netflix originals with dread I've seen a few poor films , but this one was tense , left me with a feeling of unease throughout .

What a film, a hidden gem to say the least and one of the best British production films i have ever seen.I usually avoid British films like the plague and in particular gangster uk films due to the lack of depth/acting/direction and ofcourse the script but Calibre was different, it had everything for me/// script/production/acting/location and direction also was not bad at all. Matt Palmer who i had never heard of until this movie nailed it in my opinion, he managed to russle up a great script and not only that, he also wrestled some great actors into the frame, Tony Curran is a well known and fantastic Glasweigian actor, also Jack Lowden is for me an up and coming actor to keep a close eye on as he looks like he will grow and hit the top aswell due to his early Theatre works.Fantastic performance from Martin McCann aswell i have to say too throughout (call the cops stinking of Whiskey?) brilliant !I have to add that Kate Bracken done her part quite well too but i dont know if its just me but she is a dead ringer for Rachel McAdams in this particular movie.I also have to add that i am myself scottish and love hunting,i also love the highlands.It ofcourse points me in the direction of being one sided, however this is not the case, i have rated this movie ohnestly.For me this movie was exciting,exhilarating,unexpected, very powerful and will relate to cold case type files for movie or made for movie type series program viewers.Good Luck !
