British as a chip butty, Shane Meadows is just about as tasty (and probably about as good for you). His A Room for Romeo Brass is one of the underrated gems of the last ten years - read more »

as it says on the cover ' one of the best british films in years'
in fact i think i would probably go as far as saying, this is one of the best films i have seen in years.....full stop. now i understand its not going to be everyones cup of tea, but for those out there who like a great film with some good old fashioned brit-grit watch it! it's one of those films where you dont quite know what to do with yourself after it. i mean i watched this film and thought it was great 3 days after watching it, i thought it was amazing - reason being, i kept on thinking about it, it kept on coming back into my head, i think i was a bit traumatised by it to be honest, but if that isnt the sign of a good film i dont know what is.
full of grit and grim, very good acting, and a bit of humor thrown in....watch this! -

Harrowing yet beautiful
Every time I have watched this film with a group of friends the whole room falls silent for the duration as this beautifully shot, horrifically violent and heart wrenchingly emotional film unravels. It always leaves me feeling like my brain has been raked over but still buoyed up by the knowledge that I have just seen one of the best films to come out in years. The acting is impeccable and never falters whilst the camera takes in all the beauty and brutality of the film as the action moves from lush green hills to the endless rows of British suburbia. This is an absolute must see for everyone; if you find very real violence disturbing then its worth just shutting your eyes at the appropriate moment rather than miss this once off film.
