We do. The British attitude is just so different.

Deadmans Shoes amd The Crow are my favorite revenge films of all time. Both are brutal and equally beautiful and heartbreaking

Excellent reaction, man! Such a good movie. As I remember, on the DVD there is an 'alternate ending' where Richard, instead of trying to calmly reason with Mark into killing him, all out threatens to kill his entire family if he doesn't stab him. I do prefer the original ending, but the other works well too. Nice work on getting the twist shortly before the reveal. It is definitely a story where we can laugh with and feel sorry for the victims, until we finally find out what it is they really did. So good. Glad you managed to track down a good copy of it! :) Oh, I think Mark's wife is the mother in This is England btw! Meadows reuses a lot of actors, and I am pretty sure that is her! :)

I love when directors show originality tbh thanks for the reaction havent thought about this movie in a long while 👍🙂

One of my favourite films ever. Glad to see the alternative ending mentioned in the comments. In the 'One Down' scene there is the word 'stop' written in blood on the cistern, left side. Can't make out if there is another word on the right though. Also Herb's hand visibly shakes when handing money to Sonny at the clubhouse. When Sonny first sees Richard at the 'party' section he makes a crossbow type motion with his hands. The whole film is very gritty and feels very realistic.

That palm strike pushed his nose into his brain. That would definitely have killed him 😂

Never happens in the real world

Top reaction to a great film. Hardly anyone has reacted to this so it’s nice to see. A proper grim revenge tale. If you’ve not seen “Get Carter” (1971) I’d highly recommend it. It’s a classic, gritty gangster film starring Michael Caine. Mike Leigh is another top British director who’s done plenty of films depicting a very real and relatable view of the uk. “Naked” (1993), “Secrets & Lies” (1996), “Life is Sweet” (1990) and “Nuts in May” (1976) are just few to check out if you’ve not seen them. I’d also recommend “Four Lions” (2010) and “Twin Town” (1997) both are modern classic, dark British comedies. Nice one dude.

Just wanted to say something about the comment you made at 13:11 about them dealing drugs but still looking poor (which is what you were basically saying). They're the low level dealers. They don't really make a lot of money. They make just enough to get by, but more importantly, they sell enough to feed their own drug habit. Rule number 1 is don't get high on your own supply. But most low level dealers are only dealing so they can feed their habit.

I was finally able to see this movie after seeing rave reviews by the same maker of This is England and it did not disappoint (while expecting a lot to be honest with you). The acting is in the same mold as This is England, but it's theme and tone is different. The cast delivered an excellent performance and I didn't see that ending coming. Like his broher, Richard impressed me and am looking into another movie where he stars: 'In America (2002)'. Different setting, but want to admire his acting once more.

U know they did something very fuckin bad when he took one down and showed it for display

the punishment for the last guy was to face the reality that he had blood on his hands. with Anthony's death he could make excuses to himself but as we saw when he found out who the soldier was he did feel guilty for what happened but never faced it.
