Good Storyline

Dead Man's Shoes review

By NickRaimo

Dead Man's Shoes

Starring Paddy Considine, Gary Stretch, Toby Kebbell

Director Shane Meadows

Genres Thriller

Run time 87 mins Certificate 18

14th February 2012

This film is only let down by the acting, it has the feel of a bunch of kids playing pretend. The storyline is great and if this film was remade with better acting I would give it 4stars, sadly I think 2 and a half is a little too much but I did enjoy it so its only fair.
