Leave your thoughts about Dead Man's Shoes.
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardThis is no simplistic vigilante movie. Like Park Chan-wook's "Vengeance" trilogy, it explores the nature of the beast of revenge, leaving the audience in a sweat of dread. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezConsidine hawks a striking cipher, an avenging angel whose metaphysical communion with otherworldly energies is echoed in the film's unhinged, stewy surface. |
| Empire MagazineColin KennedyDisturbing, uncompromising and completely gripping. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayFor all Dead Man's Shoes' well-paced, well-observed boondocks melodrama, its premise seems simultaneously slender and overheated. |
| Film ThreatFelix Vasques Jr.An original, complex, and utterly gruesome revenge parable, and never portrays its characters as black and white. Considine handles his performance like a pro, and only adds to the pure skill behind it. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaAtuações formidáveis (especialmente de Considine) em um filme moralmente ambíguo que, ao mesmo tempo em que funciona como maravilhosa releitura de Carter, o Vingador, analisa a natureza retroalimentadora da violência. |
| All Movie GuideJosh Ralske...it's hard to imagine the film without Considine's amazing work. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergShane Meadows delivers a tale that's as grimly satisfying as it is sadly insightful. |
| BBC.comJamie RussellA thorny take on the morality of crime and punishment, it's a back-to-basics guerrilla production that sees Meadows heading back to familiar gritty territory. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyMeadows loses control as he goes along, veering into assorted noodling and sacrificing the knife's-edge clarity of the early going for something arty and artificial. |
