The Flawed Genius

If anyone hasn't seen this cinematic gem, I urge you to go out and purchase it as soon as you can! If your looking for ironic laughter and unintentional comedy, this is your film! Again the unluckiest guy in the world (bronson) finds himself in a situation where he is surrounded by sub human scum that are dressed up like cameo!!!! The 'creeps' he has to deal with are fond of high fiving each other, wearing leather waistcoats and bandanas and have names such a 'the giggler' (when he steals an item, he giggles as he runs)....genius!!! Bronson takes out the trash one by one with various degrees of brutality! If you want to watch a man shoot a villain stone dead in the street and then see the neighbours sheer and dance while some sort of joyous circus music plays in the background then look no further! the soundtrack is here....a sort of twanging droning noise, the dialogue is second to none 'they killed the giggler man....he had no business doing that....none at all'.....and bronson avoids military level artillery simply by crouching down on one knee!!! watch this movie. its pure entertainment!!!

When you watch a movie and you find yourself thinking about it days later...i believe thats a sign that the movie you have seen was a good one....and thats what happened when i saw this movie.

I have not seen a darker movie than this for some time....maybe not ever...but as well as the darkness, Dead Mans Shoes also offers some extremely poignant and moving moments I think the acting performances from all involved are first class...but paddy considine is a cut above that. The dialogue in the movie and the way he handles it has me watching in awe......the way he talks to his brother and the fact he seems to have so much love and patience with him....is even more amazing when you see how crazy and precise, the character of richard is.

As my title suggests...i don't know why, but some of this movie brought memories of taxi driver to me....a character that has passed a point here he cannot go back from.....and that comparison shows what a good movie this is

I knew I was going to like this film the moment i saw it advertised and i wasn't disappointed!!

William H macy is absolutely awesome in this movie as he always is...but it was alec baldwin that surprised me the most. He plays the burnt out, nostalgia loving casino owner so well...he is a bully and an ego maniac but there is some sort of sadness about him.

The film captures the seediness of vegas to a tee...and this film could also be one of the best love stories you will see in a long time.

I feel like drawing the curtains....pouring myself out a bourbon on the rocks and watching this film again

superb stuff!!!
