I dont know about anybody else but morell (paddy considine) in RFRB is absolutely terrifying! the first bit that shocked was when he switched on romeo's mate whilst he went to buy ice cream! it was just so unexpected and sudden that i felt uneasy for the rest of the film! quality stuff again from shane!

He is but that's what makes it such a good film because it's nothing like what you expect when watching the trailer!

I think it's the moment that changes the film, even Shane and Paddy said on the Commentary it unsettled a lot of the audience that's why many critics and the audience probably didn't get it on first viewing. They were expecting a funny buddy comedy but they got something entirely different. It frightened the hell out of me cause I was expecting a light hearted romp but it what makes the film for me and thats what makes stand's Shane's work apart from other filmmakers, that sudden flip into a darker heart.
Morrell was scared by what Knock Knock did to him by feeding him false information and making him look a fool, so it was brooding in him for a while. It what makes Morrell's character interesting, you think he's a bit of a fool at the beginning and you actually feel for him until that sudden snap then you see he's not a fool but a sly dangerous bully then you really hate him, when he gets his ass kicked in the end you are cheering. Great performance from Paddy, probably his greatest for Shane.

Still love this film, possibly my favorite all time film. That switching moment of the character was just brilliantly portrayed. I am desperately waiting for a SM/PC teaming again. Come on Shane and Paddy its been far too long. In fact Shane give us a film PLEASE  |

Still love this film, possibly my favorite all time film. It's slowly creeping in on Dead Man Shoes as been my favourite Shane Meadow's film. It's the one I watch the most these day's. I think cause it remind's me of my teen years in Dublin (same kind of area, very working class). Plus it's just a well told and acted film.
Still think it has The best DVD commentary ever. Two mates just having a laugh.

Yeah, I have to agree. Still hasve the fondest feelings for Romeo Brass out of all of Shane's films, and the commentary is still the best I've heard. A proper laugh with proper info too! I still have a memory of seeing an on set report for Romeo Brass on Film..whatever year it was. Would love to see it again. I remember the army pants on the washing line featuring in it! |

I haven't seen it for about two years and tonight I think it needs a revisit. The first time I saw it was on BBC2 I remember I'd been really unwell for a few days and caught it from about ten minutes in. I went straight online and ordered the DVD after it finished. I've introduced most of my family to it over the years, cousins, friends, etc and they have all enjoyed the experience. Its one of the films which inspired me to make films (although I've been incredibly lazy at that in recent couple of years). It also inspired me to write my first feature films script 'Tears for Jimmy Briggs' which is also slightly semi autobiographical. Its this kind of thing I've missed from Shane.
