Paddy Considine as Richard, an intense (ex?) soldier, avenges the eventually tragic maltreatment of his simple/special needs younger brother by a bunch of nasty small-town drugging lumpens.
It's a gripping revenge thriller, watched entirely in one sitting; key motivating factors in Richard's rampage unfold via flashback, a smidgen of Sixth Sense-ness emerges, and there's some appropriately black humour.
One may wonder: Was the matter not properly investigated first time round? Could Richard's excesses be linked to an occupational deployment?
Another good British feature (and soundtrack) from the Shane Meadows and WARP stables.
