I thought this was gonna be shit half hour in but once it kicks in its brilliant. Beats the hell out of anything of this ilk Hollywood has churned out in the last few years.

A fish called Wanda
although i think it was technically American
In the same vein I loved The Parole Officer ok probably not a great movie compared to some of the movies mentioned but I liked it a lot.
"John... John Jones"
"JJ!!!"

Not sure if it was technically English or Irish but 'The Crying Game' certainly deserves a mention.

I think the way Anthony trails behind in the opening credits suggests that hes not really there in anything but spirit, Richard seems as though he is walking alone unaware of Anthony behind and I suppose that was intentional. It is strange the way it seems so realistic yet really has a whopper of a twist that some might find hard to swallow, its handled so perfectly though and doesn't feel like it was done just to mis-direct the audience ala 'Sixth sense' at all.

I re-watched this again last night for about the 30th time after a fair break from it. One of the things that stands out for me is how it doesn't paint everything as Black and White. While its essentially a revenge movie I couldn't help feeling for Sonny and the gang regardless of the awful things they had done. I think all of them were remorseful for their actions, although its never actually said I think you get a sense of their remorse in the scene where Herbies first mentions "It was Anthonys brother man".
