Social realism and the urban western can co-exist peacefully. Or, in this case, violently. It contains gory extreme violence, very strong language - although in context not inappropriate - we are, after all, not dealing with choir boys here - and is a bleak, gritty depiction of the decaying Midlands, bereft of industrial base, riddled by crime and corruption, and bedecked with skunk smoking pond life who glory in identity politics while tranquillizing their minds with celeberity and reality TV. Even the football is an afterthought.
