I'm not going to say this is the greatest film in the world, but it is a great little film. When I spent a hot summer Sunday this year in Swindon's Art Centre attending the inaugural Phantasmagoria film festival, I was pleasantly surprised by Ten Dead Men. I'll be honest - I was attending for the horror/thriller films like Dead Wood and Summer Scars and wasn't really in the mood for a low budget UK action film, but I'm glad I stayed and watched it. The movie takes the well trodden revenge story and puts a very British stamp on it. Well written and directed with a (mostly) great cast - hey, it's even got Lee from Steps in it! Sure, the movie does rely on some clichés, but most action films do anyway. I'd recommend it to fans of gritty British gangster films with an action twist.
