Danny Swift narrowly escapes a prison sentence by taking a job as a commis-chef in a top Glaswegian restaurant. The language is coarse and some of Danny's co-workers are decidedly shady to say the least, but the team is pushed to the height of its ability, under the watchful eye of the chef, nick (Izzard). However, with a morally-questionable probation officer, extorting customer and a group of restaurant critics about to strike, Danny so finds out that his oddball work colleagues are the least of his problems.

3 hours 11 minutes of 'wow.' Very busy story about a thief trying to survive his last week of working at the best restaurant in Glasgow, between his corrupt probation officer who blackmails him into favours, an ex military rival chef jealous of his natural talent, and an ex girlfriend back on the scene employed in the same kitchen! There's other stuff going on but I won't spoil it. For a complicated thread of stories, they all run straight and well, everything reaches a very satisfying conclusion, the film is extremely well written and the acting is fantastic from everybody involved. Eddie Izzard isn't in every scene as the chef's owner, but he gets plenty of screen time and supplements the leading role wonderfully.
