Ben Wheatley's Free Fire.

[St_Eddie]

Fair enough fellers. For me, these are a series of mini masterpieces:

Kill List
Sightseers
High Rise
Down Terrace
Free Fire
A Field In England

I'd be happy to watch any of those any night of the week.

I absolutely love Down Terrace.  I like Kill List and Sightseers.  I was mightily unimpressed by A Field in England and High Rise.  I've never seen Free Fire yet but it's interesting to note that my admiration for Ben Wheatley's films has been on a downward trend with every subsequent release.  Still, even with films which I don't like, there's a certain interest in his style and creative choices, that will keep me coming back for more.

His films are not perfect by any means, but he's still the most interesting director in the UK (with Peter Strickland perhaps).

Every film has a great concept but never quite delivers

I've certainly had this a few times from his films, to the point where I've felt that they're wasting my time - I've got the idea, thanks, that'll do.

But I liked A Field in England. Perhaps I've just been in a bad mood when I've been watching the others.

Not even the most interesting director in The Beatles.

He was meant to direct an Ideal film and that hasn't happened yet and now I'm sad.

He was meant to direct an Ideal film and that hasn't happened yet and now I'm sad.

Last I heard (a few months back) was that it was still happening, but Freak Shift was brought forward and I think his all-female Wages of Fear remake was the next one after that, so Ideal has been put back a few years at least.  Johnny Vegas might be dead by the time Wheatley gets around to it.
