Review of Twin Town

Twin Town (1997)
5/10
Not A Welsh Trainspotting
15 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Set in Swansea, Wales, this is a mean spirited black comedy that bills itself as being from the makers of Trainspotting. The film does have one of the same producers but it can be argued that producers often aren't as directly involved in the creative processes of film making as some of the other contributors.

The film tells the story of two young trouble-making brothers who find themselves involved in escalating cruelties their fathers employer after he is injured in an accident.

The film is funny at times, but much of the humor is quite cruel and it really doesn't seem to have much of a point to make, and the characters actions are difficult to understand.

As for redeeming points, the acting is solid and the film offers an intersting look at Wales.
