Dead man's shoes

[grazywalker]

Brilliant film.One of those films that you only realise is that good because you keep thinking back to it after it has finished.

Paddy Considine is a brilliant actor.He als co wrote it I thinks.

 

I think I will watch again tonight seeing as the wife is going out.(if I don't end up getting too pissed.

[Thants]

Absolutely briiliantly frightening film. The drugs sequence was torture for the watcher (if you've experienced drugs).

[Karl_b]

Absolutely class film and me dressing up as the 'elephant' scared a few people at our Halloween party last year.

 

Also see A Room for Romeo brass by Shane Meadows, which is another great film. Consadine is again extremely good.

[sh#t waffle]

Stunning film. It's on the newly free Film Four soon I believe.

[Kopite]

Brilliant film and I fully concur with the poster about the drugs scene. Scary as hell.

[Anubis]

Missed this on the cinema, although I really wanted to see it. Will be watching on Film 4 tonight, and after reading these posts I'm looking forward to it.

 

Wolf Creek was well overrated though.

Shit, wasn't it? The way it ended was so underwhelming, and then it turned out it was only incredibly loosely based on actual events (ie no specific case), so they didn't even have the way the actual case ended as an excuse. No way you'll be disappointed with Dead Man's Shoes, mind - twisted genius.

[The-Sir]

Fuckin 'ell.. thats the best film I've seen all year. Great twist at the end. Loved it.

[xabi the red]

Paddy Considine - best british actor by a mile.

[Total Longo]

One of the best films i have ever seen. And the soundtrack is genius as well. There's a hilarious short film on the DVD which is well worth checking out. It stars the lad who plays Richards brother in Dead Mans Shoes as a wannabe wrestler, who finally gets a bout and gets battered.

I have the DVD,watched in again last Saturday on my own with beer and loved it again

did not know about that extra though.Guess I should read the titles then and box.

[WaltonRed]

I tried to watch it but my sky box went off! (see other thread!)

[Anubis]

Cracking film. Really gritty, and quite poignant at the end. Excellent recommendation boys.

[beatnurotic]

Great film, very tense and quite disturbing. Will look out for more of Paddy Considine. Gary Stretch was also very good as Sonny - thought he looked familiar, I remember him boxing!

[Bob]

Shit, i thought this was a 'for sale' thread. i've been looking for some genuine dead mans shoes for a shile to go with my dead mans suit i got from oxfam.

[WaltonRed]

Finally caught it last night,my box managing to hold out for it this time.

 

thought it was absolute quality,great twist and just all round brilliance.

 

Can you imagine being that hard? best bit Richard to Sonny,

 

"If I were you I'd get in that fucking car and fuck off"

 

I thought Paddy C was good in 24hr party people,anyone recomend anything else he's in?

Romeo Brass.

[RedKnight]

I watched it last night too.

 

Thought it was good but not as good as some were making out on here. Typical British film with a shedload of swearing and a bleak ending. The only difference is that it's done better than others with the same outline. The dialogue wasn't anything special but I did like the way the flashbacks were shot(on super 80 film or something) and the final member of the gang was the message of redemption and revenge. Not Richard as you would have assumed.

[Dr.Filth]

I watched it last night too. I was a bit gutted as I had to miss the last 20 minutes of The Stones' Gimme Shelter on BBC4 to see the start but it was well worth it. One of the best films I've seen in a long time. Quite harrowing if you've ever had a bad trip yourself though.

[duncan]

What a film, have been replaying it in my head all day. Love the scene wgere they stop in their green and white 2cv and Sonny tries to front Richard, just class.

Also see A Room for Romeo brass by Shane Meadows, which is another great film. Consadine is again extremely good.

 

On BBC2 tonight, late showing of 00:40 but worth staying up for.

[Sut]

Have finally seen it. Can't remember the last time a film pulled me in so much. Ace.

[Paco]

I went to bed and then got up again to watch A room for Romeo Brass. One of the best films I've seen in ages. utterly believable with some great acting. even the kid with the limp is well acted.

I agree with the legend above.

I had the misfortune of seeing Children of men the other day. Utter gash. Clive Owen and Michael Caine being as terrible as ever.

[Paco]

anybody ever seen short film with Paddy Considine in it called My wrongs directed by Chris Morris?
