I'd heard it was good and had every intention of liking it, but...damn! I could barely understand a single thing that was said. Heavy scottish accent indeed. I don't have a clue what this guy is saying. Maybe it's just me. I often have a hard time with hardcore cockney accents too.

to understanding a broad scottish accent than I was 30 plus years ago. But from one or two newspaper articles of Welsh I've read, he seems highly intelligent ; and I mean, by the standards of what normally passes for high intelligence.

I was having a hell of a time until a scene in a club with loud music. The director added subtitles and I caught on to what they were saying. I had to rewatch much of the movie.

I can understand every word!! (Born in Glasgow).

This might be of interest to some of you. It's an (mega)advert for Johnnie Walker, featuring Robert Carlile, speaking in Scottish. It has subtitles.
