Shane Meadows - Britains Best!
5 September 2002
I had the great pleasure of seeing this film in the company of Shane Meadows and Rhys Ifans last night at Newcastle's Tyneside Cinema.

I have to admit it was an excellent film, a gritty kitchen sink tale crossed with so many cliches from classic westerns. Looks like Shane Meadows managed to rope in a whole load of top British actors into this project (Vic and Bob even get in on the action!).

The attention to detail is tremendous. The scene with Ricky Tomlinson sitting on the toilet writing songs is hilarious, especially with crates of Pot Noodles surrounding him!

I still think that Twentyfourseven is Meadows best film yet but with a cast like this, it will hopefully bring him to the attention of the masses and bring him the success that he whole heartedly deserves.
