i be start to give up on british film . they all seem to be too consider and too focus grouped and too control by the marketing mafia . so it be so very refresh to see a movie that have the inspired spontaneity so common in japanese cinema and but with a very british story . shane meadows use character from his own past a source material and and co writer paddy considine ( richard ) base part of the story on family history and so we have a film that have authentic character and authentic and semi improvised dialogue . the revenge thriller format have never seem more sophisticated . richard calculate derangement be balance by the thuggish banality display by his target and whose crime initially seem more like misdemeanor until the last act . this movie be well paced and laugh out loud funny and and darkly menacing a it proceed inexorably to it grim conclusion . if only more british film be like this and we might even have a film industry . it show that the only way to make good film in the uk be to do it behind the studio back .
