This film was utterly confusing to me for the first hour and a bit, then suddenly all made sense near the end. It was cleverly designed like that (or I am exceptionally un-sharp when it comes to movies), and you got that nice ‘ahhh’ moment when it made sense. Hard to say ‘nice’ about this movie though, when it was so dark.

It was recommended to me by a mad scotsman, who told me that another movie the director made (Once Upon a Time in the Midlands) was utter crap, and the director even thought so, and that Dead Man’s Shoes was his masterpiece.

Not really my type of movie, but because he did it so well, I was able to jump genres for a while and see what life is like for the mad scotsman and other types.
