Boring, long, and too preachy.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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

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 !

Top notch acting and directing , and I probably would have given the film a 7, but I found the ending very unsatisfying. It was almost as if I wanted a second part to the story. I won't go further because I want this to be a spoiler free review. The ending felt rushed and the true consequences of the ending should have been explored a little more than a final one minute scene. I will say that I was deeply involved throughout the film, though it did have a couple times where it dragged a bit. I would ultimately recommend this film though, you won't be bored watching it.

Having just watched CALIBRE on Netflix, I'm afraid that I'm not seeing what other reviewers on this site are seeing. For me, this is a typical independent-feeling thriller, lacking thrills, action, and originality, and instead content to go through the motions rather than innovating. The story is about a couple of friends who head into the Scottish wilderness for a spot of hunting but instead find only distrust and eventually open hatred. There's a shocking plot twist early on which plays out effectively, but otherwise this is mundane and overtly familiar, reminiscent of the likes of STRAW DOGS but nowhere near as good. Tony Curran and Ian Pirie are solid in support, but the young actors struggle with their unsympathetic characters and the whole thing is a real slog to watch.
