Shane Meadows is incredibly talented and I really enjoy his depictions of the dreary English lifestyle. [15], The Citroen 2CV used in the film was inspired by an acquantance of Shane Meadows, who had a similar car. I still definitely enjoyed watching the thugs who bullied his brother to suicide get their come-uppance, even though it was uncomfortable and ultimately made Considine no better than the thugs. Richard takes a seemingly reformed thug to the spot where his brother, Anthony, was abused to the point of suicide. Any opinions or thoughts on this scene are welcome.

You are still rooting for Richard in the beginning because of the evil things the thugs had done but slowly realize that Richard is now the evil one as he takes it to an extreme level of torture. That really brings it full circle and makes me want to rewatch the film with this in mind.
