Matthew Spence’s Edinburgh Film Reviews

Bigga than Ben directed by S A Halewood is about two Russians come over to London to try to con and steal their way to success. The two Russians struggle in their new life of crime but eventually get a hold of their situation and begin to con the London banks. However as time passes they are caught and lose all of their money. Once they turn themselves around things begin to shape up.

At first I thought I wouldn’t like this film because I assumed they would become rich by scamming and stealing from society. But as the film progressed it revealed how much of a struggle it was for them. As they turned to a life of honest hard work their lives began to work for them.
