Forum: JoBlo | | One of the best films by one of the best directors using one of the best actors in recent British cinema. The intensity and the compassion and the heartbreak of Paddy Considine's revenge is stunning - and he must surely be considered a serious replacement for Tim Roth, Gary Oldman and Daniel Day-Lewis when they move into the autumn years of their careers. One thing: I don't know why some people don't consider this a horror movie. It has all the elements of a horror, yet I always find it in the thriller section. Despite the fact that I know this is just a film, when I watched it for the first time I actually felt...extremely anxious for the unsuspecting nimrods Richard (Considine's character) was stalking. I mean, they deserved it - undoubtedly - but it was one of the few times when a film has made me say out loud, 'Fuck, I am glad that's not me'. 9/10 - And check out 'A Room for Romeo Brass'. Considine is a genius. |
