DOWN TERRACE

Director Ben Wheatley / 2009 / UK

<p><b>“If <i>The Sopranos</i> had been cooked up by Mike Leigh instead of David Chase, the result might resemble <i>Down Terrace</i>.” - <i>Cinematical </i></b></p> <p>This black suburban comedy from director Ben Wheatley slickly marries family drama to crime-flick to produce a cross-genre gem.</p> <p>Father-and-son gangster duo Bill and Karl, released from a four-month stint in a Brighton prison, settle back into a routine of drinking, pot-smoking and crime. But there's a snitch in their midst, and the dysfunctional family of thugs are set to explode with violence. </p> <p>Brimming with menace, <i>Down Terrace </i>stars co-writer Robin Hill alongside his real-life wife and father, and<i> </i>features a chilling crime clan matriarch that puts Jacki Weaver's performance in <i>Animal Kingdom</i> to shame.</p>
