Mister P This film is such a gem. Incredible how Paddy Considine and Shane Meadows were able to make this such a darkly harrowing tale yet they were able to sprinkle some very comic moments in there that didn't undermine the film's gravity. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review Ian S One of my favourite films. It's portrayal of small time, small town "gangsters" is spot on. The scene where they pull up in a 2CV Dolly listening to hip-hop sums it all up. A very British film, funny, sad, depressing, and violent - the balance is perfect. I've never looked at a pot noodle in the same light. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Joe J I thought this film has a great story plot as a British revenge movie. Some of the acting is a bit on par but having such an intense storyline on this subject is what really makes this film so enticing to the viewer. A definite 8.5/10. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review Robert W I thought this was an absolute must see! Both technically, the acting was superb and the editing was incredible! And emotionally, I don't think I've ever seen the telling of a weirder, funnier and more harrowing story in my life, and I truly connected with it. It has answered a philosophical question for me that I don't think I would have answered the same way before seeing this film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Audience Member A truly outstanding film, dripping with tense scenes and reflective a type of caustic toxic masculine friendship that can lead to "pranks" that go too far. Paddy Considine is terrifying as the avenging angel seeking retribution for terrible unkindness visited on his gentle and simple sibling. Considine wears the Derbyshire accent beautifully with flat vowels in abundance and emanates menace, utterly uncowed by the man antagonist. The destruction of their unfeeling cabal is brutal, and deserved? I re watch on average every 5 years, it is not an easy watch but ranks as one of my favorite films. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Dan R Only director Shane Meadows could create a British movie as dark, disturbing and emotional as 2004's 'Dead Man's Shoes'. SYNOPSIS: 'A disaffected soldier returns to his hometown to get even with the thugs who brutalized his mentally-challenged brother years ago.: There are so many things that trouble me about 'Dead Man's Shoes' and I think the film is doing exactly the job it was designed to do. The film is an unrelenting revenge fantasy thriller that's probably Meadow's best work to date. The film meanders along with a powder keg performance from Considine at its core. At times he's totally unhinged and that makes his moments of clarity even more disturbing. His journey is both grimly satisfying as it is sadly insightful. A mirror into the darkness inside all of us. 'Dead Man's Shoes' is a truly disturbing, uncompromising and completely gripping movie. It's also deeply unpleasant. A classic British movie. 8/10 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
