 An entertaining movie April 9, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Restless Natives is a wonderful tale of two naive young Scots who become national talking points for robbing tourist coaches on desolate Highland roads. Using a motorbike and a few masks they run riot and are hotly pursued by the police.
This film, and its great soundtrack, captures the feel of disillusioned working class Scotland in the mid-1980's and although it isn't 'big budget' it's still great fun to watch.
Why don't they make Scottish comedies like this any more...?
 A gift January 26, 2008

This film - too long unavailable - is a true gift to disaffected teens, and frustrated working stiffs the world over. It was with a true sense of relief and joy that I found it on DVD at last. Long may the Clown and the Wolfman ride through the Highlands of our discontent bringing smiles and a sense of hope with them.
Does doing bad things give you warts? July 22, 2007

Like a lot of the other reviewers I was first attracted to this film because of my deep love of the band Big Country. Their music adds to and lifts this film from out of the ordinary. It is clearly shot on a budget of about 12p and the main protagonists, Ned Beatty aside, are mostly Scottish unknowns, but they do a remarkable job. Where is Teri Lally these days as she is absolutely gorgeous in this! Some of the gags are fun, but the plot does tend to groan a little under it's own pressure. Some of the fabulous shots around Edinburgh and into the Highlands, set to Stuart Adamson's soaring guitar-work will make the hearts of any fan of Scotland, it's scenery and Big Country in general, soar!
Remake needed May 7, 2006

I think that Ken Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty should remake this movie.
It was brilliant at the time and the politics of the movie aren't that different today.

boring bland characters, 2 dimentional acting, staggered plot development. The only thing gained is a severe sense of dissappointment.
