SunnyHello Nice effects though.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
luis691991 This is by far the worst British film I have ever seen. An absolute disgrace to my eyes, ears and general well being. Its suppose to be a 'action thriller' but turned out to be the unintentional 'Comedy of the year'. Me and my mates had a right good laugh at this tripe. God knows where we stumbled upon this steaming pile of dog toffee but it was soon discarded from my presence. I hate it that much it has a special place in my heart. We watched it several times and even viewed the 'making of', what a top laugh that was. I was tortured with the theme tune, little quotes and reminders of scenes to this day. All in all the term 'hate from the pit of my stomach' is thrown around too much these days but Ten Dead Men really fits the bill. The cast and crew should be ashamed of what they have done and let loose on the unsuspecting public. Ten men took Ryans life way. Ten men had to pay. Including Brendan Carr, Lee Latchford Evans, Terry Stone and that idiot 'the Projects Manager'.AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
colinhawksby Ten Dead Men is one of 2 low budget films I watched recently.The other was Jack Says.The 2 have quite a bit in common- they start with someone being tortured by gangsters, girlfriend is murdered,revenge etc.Whereas Jack Says tries to be cleverer, 10DM just charges in like a Bull in a China Shop and uses the plot as an excuse to shoehorn some brutal fight scenes into the story.Brendan Carr is the lead..playing a proper psycho he is believable and ( unlike Jack in Jack Says) quite intimidating.All the heavies in this film seem more than capable of damaging someone.We only see his girlfriend briefly but she seems very sweet..just the type to take him out of his criminal life.Production values are rubbish..at times this looks like it was filmed on a mobile phone.There is little dialogue and the story is driven forward by a narrator..Pinhead from Hellraiser.( He must need the money badly). He is the wrong choice to play the voice over of the lead character....he is far too posh.This is not a great film by any means but it is the sort of thing you might enjoy with a few beers
joker_greenhouse I never give up on a film, but I jacked this one in after only 20 Min's just now. Bad camera shots, equally bad editing and sound post production. The score is one of the worst I've ever heard. I really could knock up up better one right now (even the instruments/sounds used are cheap ass midi tacky rubbish).And to cap it all, (bearing in mind this is meant to be a hard bloke sorta film), it's only got Lee Latchford-Evans from a crappy British Village People-esquire pop band called 'Steps' that destroyed the airwaves for a good ten years or so.. trying to act hard/gangster. Even if your not British and don't know who he is, it's still not gonna sit right.I get the feeling the whole thing is devised and made by inexperienced, retired cage fighters still high on after show testosterone fuelled steroid binges.
justin-richards-1 You can't out-run your past and Ryan (Brendan Carr) learns this the hard way. Ryan thinks his violent past is behind him until a friend in need asks for his help. He unwillingly crosses the ruthless crime boss Hart (played well here by actor Terry Stone), the one man he can never escape. With his girlfriend murdered in front of him and he, himself, left for dead, Ryan decides that if he can't escape his past life he must confront it head on. Ten men destroyed his life, now ten men are going to pay - as the poster blurb says.Independent British action cinema takes another step in the right direction with the arrival of Ten Dead Men, Modern Life's superior follow-up to their cult hit 'Left for Dead'. Fusing action, drama and violence into a blistering whole, Ten Dead Men shows that us Brits can hold our own in the action movie arena.It may be a little rough around the edges and lack the gloss of a big budget action film but Ten Dead Men holds its own and shows independent action cinema can serve up the goods, especially when made by people who so obviously love the genre. It's also great to see a film sticking to its dark roots and not wimping out come the final act.My only real issue with the film, and it's a relatively small one is that it took me a while to get used to the lead actor saying nothing throughout the film and having to rely on the narrator to keep the viewer engaged with the central character. But between them writer, Chris Regan, and actor Doug (Hellraiser) Bradley manage to pull it off, although, I have to say, it did take me the first 15 minutes of the movie to get used to it.In summary, an enjoyable low budget, gritty action/crime film with a lot of heart. I have no regrets choosing this film for a film festival I ran in 2008 as it went down a storm with the audience - pity not many others will get the chance to see it on the big screen...
