Dead Man's Shoes

Great my brother has been going on about good this film is for ages and I havnt got around to watching it yet. Another good film on Film4!
 
When I first heard FilmFour was going to be free I was glad that us freeviewers finally get some movies, but expected Filmfour to turn more mainstream. I'm glad they haven't :)
Films like Dead Man's Shoes, Calvaire and Infernal Affairs are exactly the sort of films I want to see. I hope they keep up the high quality.
 
Yep, BBC 4 used to be good for world cinema before they changed its focus, I hope the same doesn't happen to Film 4. And Dead Man's Shoes is a classic British film that shouldn't be missed.
 
Richard returns home from military service to a small town in the MidlanRAB. He has one thing on his mind: revenge. Payback for the local bullies who did some very bad things to his brother. At first his campaign employs guerrilla tactics, designed to frighten the men and put them ill at ease. But then he steps up his operation, and one by one these local tough guys are picked off by the terrifying angel of vengeance that Richard has become.

There is more to it than that though. Great film.
 
I didn't like it that much - think it's a bit heavyhanded. As with all Shane Meadows' films, it relies too heavily on music to set emotion level.
