Nailing Vienna

Zero-budget film by some young film makers. Hand-held video, & hard to understand the heavy British accents at times. But don't expect "Hollywood" & you might enjoy this crime film about some low-life young men.

so is this what happens when someone with an IQ of 1 gets a cheap video camera for christmas and gets together with some "actors" that are even more stupid?

Firstly, I'm a James Murray fan, so I was already pre-disposed to like this film, just because of who was in it. As it turned out, I enjoyed the film on its own merits and because James Murray was in it 90% of the time.The entire film/story is viewed through the lens of a handheld video camera alternatively used by one or other of three friends as they attempt to put together a money making film to cash in on the recent interest in UK Gangsta drama's.The technique used means the images are often skewed and off kilter depending on who's holding the camera, and it often looks little better than your average home movie. But there's a fair bit of black humour and you can't help laughing at some of the antics the three no-hopers get up to in their quest to Nail Vienna and get the film finished.Several lovely cameo's by vintage heavies, and a gritty realism give the film a very watchable quality, and a neat twist to this film-within-a-film at the end makes you gasp (well I got me, anyway).I enjoyed Nailing Vienna because James Murray gets plenty of film time - and because it keeps you watching to see what idiotic things these three will get up to next.

Love this movie. So glad I found it!
