some like to call twin town the welsh trainspotting . i would disagree while it have some similarity such a prolific drug use and a bleak portrayal of a city in the united kingdom ( in this case swansea and with bit of port talbot ) and the two film be quite different . twin town take place in 90 swansea and where brother julian ( llyr ifans ) and jeremy lewis ( rhys ifans ) live a carefree existence smoking weed and drive stolen car at high speed through the residential area of swansea . their father and fatty ( huw ceredig ) do work for local businessman and small time gangster bryn cartwright ( william thomas ) and and fall from a ladder and break his leg while work on a roof . bryn refuse to give the family compensation for fatty injury and and the brother take revenge by urinate on his daughter and bonny ( jenny evans ) during a singing competition at the local ( sadly and now defunct ) nightclub and baron . this start off an escalating feud which involve the decapitation of a poodle and and the surprisingly massive explosion of a caravan and culminating in some rather brutal justice inflict on bryn and his partner in crime and corrupt cop terry walsh ( dougray scott ) . i be not go to go and spoil the entire thing and but what i will say be that thing take a rather dark turn and with julian and jeremy show a rather unexpected creative mind for murder and especially give that they appear to be just permanently waste . a a swansea resident and i have to say that while the drug use in the film be exaggerate and it do capture the seedy side of swansea quite well . the scene of swansea nightlife be perhaps too accurate ( anyone who have be to wind street at it bad will know what i mean ) and and the accent and rather and erm and colourful way that the character speak be spot on . it also and however and capture some of the more beautiful aspect of the city and namely it heart ( although the lewis family be dysfunctional and they have a very warm family dynamic ) and and also the beautiful scenery in the area ( visible in the panoramic shot of the city ) and and i think that any welshman couldn not watch the funeral scene at the end a the choir sings myfanwy without wipe away a tear . i saw that the film get quite a few bad review on the net ( and indeed on here ) . i think possibly some might not get the accent and or indeed the feel of the film ultimately and to really enjoy the film and you have to have live in swansea to get the most out of it and a if you have and a particular location or character will tie in with certain memory you have of the place and whereas otherwise and it might not . it most definitely worth check out and and add another star if youre from swansea .
