Featured review
I watched this again recently when it was re-released at Carnival time in a 20 year anniversary edition.
Once I'd got past (or have I got past it, really, and will I ever?) coming to terms that it had been 20 years since this was made, I was impressed at how well it still stood up.
Apparently a favourite with The League of Gentlemen, it's a properly eccentric and dark sideways take on the botched crime caper/ revenge drama. The cast are real characters and it's all played with a kind of sinister charm.
It's very British, very independent, completely individual and we need films like this more than ever as mainstream vanilla pap floods the theatres.
Joe Tucker needs to make another movie, and I hope we don't have to wait another 20 years.
