Cast

Production

The film was shot in Glasgow in 1997.[1] At one point during production, Sheen demanded to visit Easterhouse, one of Glasgow's toughest areas at the time, to obtain drugs and asked for a gun in order to protect himself.[2] It is suggested Sheen agreed to this film in an attempt to try more serious roles.[1]
