I loved it - I hate when reviews seem to point out it's emphasis on violence or the "dumb" decisions of it's characters. The film never lingers or indulgences on it's graphic imagery and the decision making of the band is (as the director said) how people would behave in such a complex situation of panic and anxiety.

I think he makes great flicks. He's a genre master out of the gate. But his films haven't had too much to say so far, so I wouldn't call his films great pieces of art.

Saw it a few weeks ago. It was really down and dirty, I mean even someone like me who's pretty good with gore in movies was cringing though some of the stuff being shown. But I was glued to the screen for the whole thing. I felt like Assault on Precinct 13 meets American History X. I persoanlly liked Blue Ruin more but it still a really well made film and if you got the stomach and it's playing near you I'd say go for it.

This movie gets me rock hard, man. I think Blue Ruin is one of the best movies of the decade so far, so going into this film I had titanic expectations. Somehow, though, it completely exceeded them. I'm no stranger to gore but I was feeling uneasy numerous times throughout this film. Incredible buildup of tension, fantastic performances and cinematography, ugh, I loved it so much. Everything about it. I'll never be able to see Patrick Stewart the same way again.

These guys are excellent. I remember Kermode's analysis of The Exorcist when it was re-released: broad-minded, very intelligent, and uncynical and unsceptical about the film's religious-faith values. Talk about an open mind. Charlie Higson reviewed it on TV at the same time: he might as well have just seen Frozen for all it meant to him. How could he not have been moved and then questioned his atheism?❤❤

I never saw this film in cinemas, I saw it when it came out on DVD. And I wonder if studios are intentionally dumbing down the quality of their movies for DVD to persuade people to buy the Blu-ray version. I've been noticing it with a lot of recent movies. And that's my biggest problem with the movie, the audio quality, or the sound quite inaudible to the point I couldn't understand what they were saying, so for the first part of the movie I couldn't follow the story.

I've seen this movie 8 times now and I still think the box cutter is a lot less cringe worthy than the aftermath of the machete to the arm. Not that I'd know, but the box cutter seems less realistic looking than the arm.

@ up to 1:01 | Careful with that generalization; many on the 'far left' do not support 'communist' dictatorship, racism, xenophobia or any of the other trappings of the (usually 'devoutly religious' ) right (they embody everything their 'saviour' supposedly hated (Catholic-edited version of saviour: anglican priest Peter Owen Jones, Lost Gospels; also: Shepherd of Hermas), from murder [commanded and condemned by same god-character, needing papal translation {to mean whatever they felt like that day}] slaughter to usury {debt slavery to swindler banksters, tables overturned {they were robbing the church as well and that wouldn't do}}). The traditionally politically conservative / socialist progressive wing of politics usually don't like guns, dirty oil money, war or religious regression (opposed to the property 'right' types). The political climate presently places anyone not adhering to the madness of imperial American Neoliberalism as some kind of radical; what is radical is being part of a business system that is fundamentally changing the chemistry of planet Earth's life-support systems, killing them.

Would love to have seen a Shane Meadows version of this set against a BNP skinheads backdrop.. just for a more authentic feel. Couldn't connect with the dialogue in the flick, never warmed to the band, some characters felt too acted. Liked the atmosphere and sudden acts of violence but was a little disappointed after Blue Ruin. Still think he's a good director.
@JohnnyWrong

+elimnine More authentic? Saunier grew up around the punk and hardcore scene, as did I, trust me, this movie is 110% authentic, including the portrayal of the Nazi boneheads in the roadhouse. All Meadows would have done is added in some maudlin folk music and jarring comedy. Don't get me wrong, Dead Man's Shoes is awesome, and I love some of his early work too, but This Is England is flawed and the television show is just terrible, despite having a brilliant cast.

+disgraceland uk Maudlin folk music, ha.. I quite like Smog but I hear what your saying. In fairness it's more Dead Man's Shoes/Room for Romeo Brass I was thinking rather than the TV series in terms of it feeling 'authentic'. And I didn't mean authentic as in the setting or portrayal of the skinheads. I meant the scripted dialogue for initially the band and some of the other characters jarred, and tonally some of the acting felt like... acting. It just didn't fully land for me. That said there was stuff I liked.. but at the end of the day my feelings on the flick land me squarely in the minority on this thread, so much like a family on their way to Disneyland who've wandered into an NSBM clubhouse, I might just use granny as a human shield to escape a bottling as I exit the way I came in.

Did not care for this movie at all. The script was awkward, the editing was inept, trying so hard not to go for conventional tension build up and jump scares that nothing actually resonated, the gore was blunt, gross and again, strangely choreographed - it was icky sure, but I didn't feel that sense of pain because the direction felt so off. The pacing is sluggish, some of the characters still made questionable decisions, important plot points didn't really register and the ending was stupid. Power to you if you liked it I suppose, but I was very let down and the movie did not affect me much at all.

Would you prefer I just say "it's a bad movie"? I wrote out the faults I found with the film's production and narrative, I didn't go into specific details with each scene because they are escaping from my memory and didn't want to spoil, but I certainly provided more than your basic disapproval lol.
