god will forgive them etc . and this be the best line in any film i have ever see from the very outset of the film you have no doubt that richard ( paddy considine ) be uncompromising in his attitude towards revenge . i live in this area of england and the stark grey image combine with the lush green field work fantastically well on film and the character be your everyman type that everyone know or know of in their town . it show the dark under belly of small town in central england and it stark imagery doesn not glorify violence in the way usually associate with this type of film . the character that richard reek his revenge on be likable in there own way and comedic at time and i think thats the win formula you do not hate the character and want to see them die but you do not mind that they must . it a fine balance that most film do not manage to achieve and all in all it one of the best revenge flick i have see in year . paddy considine play an excellent anti hero who you sympathise and empathise with in equal amount know all the time what he be do be lawfully unacceptable but morally just . altogether a fantastic film with an excellent engaging storyline and it not hollywood so will have it critic but it a step in the right direction for british film .
