“Bloody and brilliant, "Dead Man's Shoes" is an emotional rollercoaster from beginning to end. The 57% rating on Rotten Tomatoes is both a crying shame”

Refreshingly Complex Thriller

“Bloody and brilliant, "Dead Man's Shoes" is an emotional rollercoaster from beginning to end. The 57% rating on Rotten Tomatoes is both a crying shame and a sacrilege, because this is Shane Meadows' masterpiece- a film that transcends the revenge genre, delivering a heart-pounding, intense story that lets events unfold in a way that is anything but simple.

Richard (Paddy Considine) returns home from military service with no intention of living a nice quiet life and settling down. The target of his rage- a low-rent drug gang that did some terrible things to his borderline simple brother Anthony (Toby Kebbell) some time before.

""If I were you, i'd get in that fuckin' car and i'd get out of here man. I'd gather them goonies and get whatever you've got comin' mate... 'cause i'm gonna fucking hit you all.""

A very good movie

“How come it took me so long to discover Shane Meadows?!? I just saw ‘ This is England’ a few weeks back and I found it pretty amazing and this time again, Mr Meadows quite blew me away. This flick is a really different beast though. First of all, I was impressed by the directing and cinematography. Indeed, there were some simple shots but so perfectly composed, it was just really beautiful to behold. Then, you have the movie itself. It must be one of the most original and heartbreaking thrillers I have seen in a while. Even though I might enjoy a Hollywood thriller from time to time, they never really impress because they are usually based on some cheap theatrics.
