Dead Man's Shoes [Shane Meadows, 2004]   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1691 of 1859 |

Not only is this a vividly menacing thriller genre piece, but it is
also a powerful and mature study of the corrupting power of revenge.

Paddy Considine's chilling and compelling central performance ensures
that this film is a gruelling, unsettling experience, with its
occasional moments of black humour only serving to nervously ratchet
up the tension further.

The carefully constructed narrative structure excludes a simplistic,
or dismissive, reading of the film's themes.

I can only agree with many commentators, that this is Meadows' most
mature, as well as technically assured, work to date.
