I have a bit of a soft spot for gritty English realism and Shane Meadows does it better than most. Romeo Brass is an understated gem featuring a truly memorable performance from Paddy Considine. 'Morell' is a character unlike any other and Considine manages to make him both hilarious and terrifying in equal measure. The talented Vicky McClure is also excellent, playing off Considine perfectly. A brilliant soundtrack rounds out this dark yet strangely uplifting movie and while it is a bit rough round the edges, it captures the time and place perfectly.
