Dead Man's Shoes (2006)

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

best movie i've ever seen.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Made on a shoestring budget in a small British town this release is truly amazing given the context of what it had to work with. Granted there's no Oscar worthy performances and it's arguably a little on the 'mindless' side of films there's fantastically tense moments and a fairly interesting story, recommend a watch

As powerful a film as ever. This one is a builder, so if you're not convinced by the beginning, the chances are you will be by the end.Perhaps the type of revenge film that append more to the British public than the U.S, as I remember reviews from there, cladding this as a slasher and it certainly isn't that.There are dark humour moments, but this really is about the past catching up.Both Paddy Considine and Toby Kebbel were excellent and the considine/meadows collaboration was a match we'll made.

Dead Man's shoes is nothing short of remarkable. It stands with Paddy Considine's Tyrannosaur and his new film, Journeyman, as one of the best British films of all time and as one of my personal favorite films ever. The performances are stunning, Paddy Considine is terrifying, and the direction is perfect, as is the script. 10 out of 10.

On paper I can see the argument that there is little morally redemptive quality to a film like Dead Man's Shoes, no diamond polished by the end credits to reward an audience going through the trauma. But to actually sit through the film, and most importantly, to be subjected to another of Paddy Consadines' electric performances, is an extra-ordinarily vital, if viceral experience.In 'A Room for Romeo Brass' Considines character shifted from comical to threatening in a truly unsettling way, although in the end his promise 'to go dark on you' is easily thwarted by the decisive action and confidence of a father-figure. In this film, again, there is some uncertainty on the audience's part as to how far the character will go, as until the end, we are uncertain of exactly what he is revenging.Rest-assured, Considine delivers an absolutely convincing depiction of a man struggling to balance his desire for revenge and redemption, he invokes sympathy and fear from the audience in a performance to rival DeNiro in 'Taxi Driver'.I judge a film on the value of the experience it gives you, and 'Dead Man's Shoes is more than worthy of your time.
