    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Like many of the movies picked up by Miramax Films in the early 2000s, this one was supposed to be given a theatrical release, but ended up debuting on DVD when the company encountered financial trouble.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1 min) After the crash in the tunnel, a lady gets out of her car and demands to know "What sort of driving do you call that? It's out..." then a gun is pointed at her and her mouth drops open and moves no more, but we hear her voice carry on - "...rageous - you shouldn't be allowed on the road."
    • Quotes

      Billy 'Shiner' Simpson: For thirty years now, I have been hitting my head against a brick wall! They'd never give me a license to promote, not for ages! Probably because, well, because I wear dark glasses when the fucking sun's not out. Big Stoney, out there, he could have become Smoking Joe Frazier! I mean, ask anyone! But you've got to understand, there are people out there who do not want me to succeed!

    • Alternate versions
      Although this film was previously passed for an uncut 18 in the UK by the British Board of Film Classification, the 2007 distributor wanted a 15, so 30 seconds' worth of cuts were made to remove some of the violence, including a man being shot in the head and a man having his arm broken.

    a treat for michael caine fans
    michael caine is well known for accepting every sh**job that comes along. he´s in it for the money and he freely admits that. his recent films include plenty of stinkers (e.g. SHADOW RUN) so it´s quite refreshing to see him in a decent crime flick which allows him once more to show the wide span of his talents. SHINER is not a masterpiece, it´s a typical revenge story a la GET CARTER. this is a michael caine solo. all the other actors hardly have a space to breathe, caine just pushes them aside like the giant steamtrain he is. only the great martin landau can somehow compete with him, the others, frank harper (LOCK STOCK...) and andy serkis ( gollum from LORD OF THE RINGS, hihihi) do a good job but can´t keep up. all in all a very nice way to spend some time but I´d rather watch SEXY BEAST.
