80. Perrier's Bounty


A tight, well scripted, swearingly acted and violent comedy thriller featuring all your favourite game of thrones actors.

Jim Broadbent steels show as a delusional dad with a penchant for gun to head combat with startlingly accurate results.

51. Down Terrace


After seeing the amazing Kill List from the same director I was keen to catch Down Terrace. Ben Wheatley's first feature certainly has many of the same assets that made Kill List one my films of 2011. Generally this is involves bickering suburbanite families, organised-crime-based violence and some of the darkest humour ever committed to film.

Down Terrace is a look at what can happen if paranoia grips small time junkies and they start a bit of 'Let's murder everyone we think may know sometihng about anything'. It's eye watering funny at times and is punctuated by some very hard, straight forward violence. Which is nice.
