***** MILD SPOILERS *****

In the mid 1990s the BBC broadcast a competition for scriptwriting hopefuls called " Double Exposure " where five BBC regions would each pick a winning script and get a first time director to film it . This was the winning script from BBC Scotland which I wasn`t too impressed with , and before anyone accuses me of sour grapes I wish to point out that I sent my short story to BBC London so it`s no skin off my nose who won the comp at the BBC Scotland region .

The reason I didn`t like NIGHTLIFE is the fact that it sometimes resembles the plot of BLOW UP and THE CONVERSATION two films I dislike . A Glasgow woman sees what she believes is a brutal assault and kidnapping and the police are very sceptical so she hunts for clues in the local park at night , but there`s a twist at the end . NIGHTLIFE also features a lot of homosexual kissing which I found to be extremely off putting . In fact the whole film feels that it was made to appeal to a gay audience so if you`re straight you will probably won`t want to watch it . It`s not like you`ll be missing much
