Dead Man's Shoes (2004)

Shane Meadows' shocking and brutal revenge thriller sees Paddy Considine return to his home town from the army to punish the small time drug dealers that have been bullying his young special-needs brother.
With a terrifying performance from Considine and a wonderfully convincing one from Toby Kebbell as the brother, this film is a great example of how you don't need to spend hundreds of millions to tell a damn good story.
As far as Paddy goes in his craziness, the whole thing still manages to feel very real and local.
Meadows' depiction of small town England is spot on.
Clever, exciting and frightening film making on a budget. For me, this is pretty well perfect.
