- DirectorShane MeadowsStarsBob HoskinsDanny NussbaumTobyIn a typical English working-class town, the juveniles have nothing more to do than hang around in gangs. One day, Alan Darcy, a highly motivated man with the same kind of youth experience, starts trying to get the young people off the street and into doing something they can believe in: Boxing. Soon he opens a training facility which is accepted gratefully by them and the gangs start to grow together into friends. Darcy manages to organize a public fight for them to prove what they have learned. A training camp with hiking tours into the mountains of Wales forge the group into a tight-knit club society. With the day of the fight drawing closer, the young boxers get more and more excited.It follows the familiar formulaic path of Brit working-class films of the 60s, but has less edge than those films.
- DirectorShane MeadowsStarsMartin ArrowsmithDave BlantDarren CampbellAfter stopping 12 y.o. Romeo and Gavin from being beaten up, Morell drives them home and meets Romeo's adult sister and falls in love. The boys "help" him in his pursuit."Romeo Brass" is a better film than TwentyFourSeven, effortless in the way it insinuates itself into these families, and definitely by a whole lot.
- DirectorShane MeadowsStarsRobert CarlyleRhys IfansKathy BurkeAfter seeing his ex-girlfriend (Henderson) turn down a nationally televised marriage proposal, a small-time crook (Carlyle) returns to his hometown to try and win back her heart.Though the concept is interesting and quirky, the drama fails to deliver.
- DirectorShane MeadowsStarsPaddy ConsidineGary StretchToby KebbellA disaffected soldier returns to his hometown to get even with the thugs who brutalized his mentally-challenged brother years ago.Though enhanced by cramped, gritty camerawork, this unsettling look at violence and revenge lacks the provocative edge needed to give it a substantial kick.
- DirectorShane MeadowsStarsThomas TurgooseStephen GrahamJo HartleyA young boy becomes friends with a gang of skinheads. Friends soon become like family, and relationships will be pushed to the very limit.A moving coming-of-age tale that captures the despair among England's working-class youth in the 1980s.
- DirectorShane MeadowsStarsPiotr JagielloIreneusz CzopPerry BensonA black-and-white study of a social environment in London, concentrating on a pair of unlikely new friends and the girl they both fancy.Shane Meadows hits the spot with this short but sweet slice of good natured comedy, surprisingly, as it's essentially an extended black & white advert for a train station.
- DirectorShane MeadowsStarsPaddy ConsidineDean PalinczukOlivia ColmanRock roadie, Le Donk, has lived, loved and learned. Along the way, he's lost a classy girlfriend but gained a sidekick, Scorz-Ayz-Ee. He sets out to make Scorz a star with a little help from the Artic Monkeys.An endearing effort with enough heart to fill the gaps where the gags dry up or fall flat.
