I've not seen ISWID yet but the trailer does show remarkable similarity to Dead Mans Shoes which itself is one of the most unsettling yet brilliant movies I've seen in a very long time. Get Carter is one of my all time favourite movies but everything Mike Hodges has done since has been well ropey. However I will watch ISWID just to see the delectable Jonathan Rhys Meyers, even if he does get anally violated....

Dead Man's Shoes was disappointingly bad - this is worse. Something about British films of this type which are just.....CR*P. Crictics rave about them - WHY? This film is about as exciting/suspense filled as a stale sausage roll. The whole thing could have been covered (with more excitement) in a episode of the Bill. No character development, no suspense, no ending....Rubbish. Only ever one half decent Brit flick in recent times - Lock Stock and that was overhyped.
shareI have to disagree about Dead Man's Shoes it a brilliant powerful film about revenge. I would say there no similarties other than the theme revenge between two films.
