Dead Man's Shoes DVD - Shane Meadows - £3.99 @ Play.com + Quidco/RAC discount


£3.99

307°

FOUND BY: dancrawley 1 month, 1 week ago

What a film - watched it the other day and it blew me away. Shane Meadows must surely be the finest British Director or his generation, and Paddy Considine is outstanding throughout.

Not an easy watch by any means, but this is a brilliantly made British revenge thriller.


Two brothers return to the home town they left years previously. Richard, the elder, is strong and purposeful. Anthony is the younger, more hesitant, keen to mimic the actions of the sibling he reveres.

As the brothers set up camp in the hills overlooking the town, the local crew of small-time drug dealers begin to question their return. One by one they are tracked down by Richard as he embarks on a terrifying quest for revenge as a brother's love sparks calculated violent retribution...

* Audio commentary with director Shane Meadows, actor Paddy Considine and producer Mark Herbert
* Deleted scenes and extended takes
* Alternative ending
* 'In Shane's Shoes' documentary
* 'Danger Mouse' music video
* Graphic novel animated sequences
* 'Northern Soul': a short film by Shane Meadows with music by Clayhill
* Audio commentary outtakes Easter Egg (hidden feature)

This is one of my favourite films. Can't wait to see Meadows and Considine team up again in Le Donk and Scor-zay-zee.

Agreed - was reading about this the other day - it sounds great

If anybody missed Paddy Considine in the second episode of the Red Riding trilogy, they should really check it out too. What an actor.

I agree completely. That scene is amazing. The aggression and anger that comes through when he says it is something you feel deep inside yourself.

OK apart from the silly pseudo-cowboy stuff and probably the exceedingly overrated Meadows' best effort. Ought to be £2.99, bit pricey as is.
