Very best movie i ever watch

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This flick was sold at a horror convention due the name Doug Bradley. Horror geeks do know who he is, pinhead from Hellraiser. Naturally, by using his name the producers thought it would sell well. Doug isn't in the flick at all, he's just the narrator.It even got nothing to do with horror, it is more a mafia flick were one is taking his revenge for killing his girlfriend. 1O people were there so ten men had to die. This is a British production and by doing so you have to dig the accents used. But it's all understandable. The last year I have seen a few revenge flicks coming out of the UK but this one here isn't that brutal. It's rough and merciless but I have seen rougher flicks like for example A Day Of Violence. Still, due the merciless fight scene's it isn't for the easily offended. The red stuff do flows but the torture is done off screen. So it's easy to see that it was a low budget. Personally I expected a little more from it but it fits in the line of British mobster revenge flicks. And there's a bit of relieve of fight scene's due the goofy couple Parker and Garrett.

Ten Dead Men is like a B+ film school project. Most of the filmmaking is low-budget and elementary but competent. The storytelling is a little better than that, though it's marred by a few too many things that make no sense at all. The acting is perfectly acceptable, even with a lead actor that has all the on screen personality of a throbbing boil. The action scenes are thoroughly energetic, sort of like crossing The Transporter with the Mortal Kombat video game. Basically this British revenge flick is like a dollar store version of one of those countless American action films from the 1980s, with just a bit more imagination.Ryan (Brendan Carr) is a mob hit man who left his life of crime to be with his girlfriend (Pooja Shah). He's forced back into his old life, however, and crosses his old boss (Terry Stone). That results in his girlfriend being killed in front of him and Ryan being left for dead. He, in a completely inexplicable and irrational manner, recovers and starts hunting down the ten men responsible for destroying his new life. What follows are action scenes that are as over-the-top as you can get when your movie has a budget of about 13 pounds, more flashbacks than you can shake a stick at and acts of retribution that range from the mundane to the ridiculous.To say the narration is the best part of Ten Dead Men may sound like I'm damning it with faint praise, but Doug Bradley guiding us through Ryan's tale of vengeance like he was telling his children a bedtime story is very inviting. It draws you into a story that is otherwise unexceptional and helps get you past those points where the film tosses logic and plausibility into the rubbish bin.Now, there's no getting around how cheap-looking this thing is. The judicious use of computer effects does give a kick to some of the acts of violence, but Ten Dead Men looks more like it was filmed by a talented group of friends with a video camera and a tripod than it does a professional production. At times it looks fine, but other times it really seems like these filmmakers did not know what they were doing.If you're looking for a non-stupid, bloody and violent movie, and don't mind substandard production values and the occasional bit of nonsense, check out Ten Dead Men.

If you only give a film 3 minutes then I don't think you can call yourself a film fan and shouldn't really review it. There's some truth that its clear the film was shot on a low-budget but it doesn't take long to forget that and get into a very thrilling story that keeps up a good pace throughout and has some genuinely surprising twists in it. I enjoyed this film. The fight scenes are very well done and the script is well written, balancing flashbacks with the present as well as unravelling the motive behind the confrontations. There are a lot of million-pound budget action films that are predictable and boring, you won't be saying that about this film.

I'm not going to say this is the greatest film in the world, but it is a great little film. When I spent a hot summer Sunday this year in Swindon's Art Centre attending the inaugural Phantasmagoria film festival, I was pleasantly surprised by Ten Dead Men. I'll be honest - I was attending for the horror/thriller films like Dead Wood and Summer Scars and wasn't really in the mood for a low budget UK action film, but I'm glad I stayed and watched it. The movie takes the well trodden revenge story and puts a very British stamp on it. Well written and directed with a (mostly) great cast - hey, it's even got Lee from Steps in it! Sure, the movie does rely on some clichés, but most action films do anyway. I'd recommend it to fans of gritty British gangster films with an action twist.
