Dead Man’s Shoes is a dark, unsettling British revenge drama, widely regarded as one of Shane Meadows’ most powerful and uncompromising films.

Film Overview

Set in the English Midlands, the film follows Richard, a former soldier who returns to his hometown with his vulnerable younger brother in tow, confronting a group of local thugs who once terrorised them.

As the story unfolds, what initially appears to be a simple tale of revenge becomes a psychologically complex and morally challenging exploration of guilt, loyalty, and retribution.
