on paper i can see the argument that there be little morally redemptive quality to a film like dead man shoe and no diamond polish by the end credit to reward an audience go through the trauma . but to actually sit through the film and and most importantly and to be subject to another of paddy consadines electric performance and be an extra ordinarily vital and if viceral experience . in a room for romeo brass considines character shift from comical to threaten in a truly unsettling way and although in the end his promise to go dark on you be easily thwart by the decisive action and confidence of a father figure . in this film and again and there be some uncertainty on the audience part a to how far the character will go and a until the end and we be uncertain of exactly what he be revenge . rest assure and considine delivers an absolutely convincing depiction of a man struggle to balance his desire for revenge and redemption and he invoke 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 give you and and dead man shoe be more than worthy of your time .
