Too much of everything
The Worst Film Ever
Strong and Moving!
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Made on a shoestring budget in a small British town this release is truly amazing given the context of what it had to work with. Granted there's no Oscar worthy performances and it's arguably a little on the 'mindless' side of films there's fantastically tense moments and a fairly interesting story, recommend a watch
I like it a lot, everything is good. Have a nice soundtrack and the history is very captivating
Oh my word. Firstly I am stunned I have never heard or seen a clip of this before. I stumbled on a short scene of this on you tube and was intrigued from watching this morsel. I felt compelled to watch this straight away and was not disappointed. This is a low budget British film that falls into several categories, Revenge, darkly comic, Thriller cum horror. It is also a tale of loss and being lost and borders on the supernatural and mental illness. I was actually scared watching this and shocked to be honest. There is no finesse or pomp in its acting and the characters are mainly unpleasant .Paddy Consadines portrayal as Richard is up there with Ben Kingsleys Don Logan and Joe Pesci's Tommy DeVito and is thoroughly menacing. I highly recommend this.
Paddy Considine (who also co-wrote) stars as a former soldier out to get revenge on a group of petty thugs who victimized his mentally disabled brother. What starts out as a fairly light-hearted revenge film as Considine playfully taunts the thugs turns increasingly bleak as his violence escalates and the hopelessness of their situation becomes clear. Some fairly clever twists in the last act cast everything you've seen in a new light. Given the low budget and the working class surroundings, it ends up feeling like "Get Carter" directed by Ken Loach.
