Agreed. I watched this eariler in the year and was impressed. I was expecting something alot weaker and distilled, but its a decent movie and Caine puts in a great peformance. I noticed a few people on here have watched and enjoyed this film recently. Tragic considering this is a lottery funded British flick and British film funding is set for heavy cuts over the comming years.

Dead Man's Shoes is the best example of a British revenge flick though. I'm guessing you've probably seen it, but if you haven't check it out. That goes for pretty much anyone out there who hasn't seen it too. :cool:
