Now Bull has returned to take a terrible, bloody vengeance on everyone. The escalating dispute led to a horrifying situation with a burning caravan, to which there are traumatised flashbacks. When the relationship broke down, Bull demanded sole custody of his son. But to Bull’s fury, Gemma became a smack addict and a neglectful mother to their adored little boy, and glowering Norm took her side in their many arguments. With his fanatical yet disciplined love of violence, Bull should have been Norm’s favoured employee, especially as he is also his son-in-law, having married Norm’s daughter Gemma (Lois Brabin-Platt), with whom he has a young son. Norm and the rest of his crew, including Marco (Jason Milligan), Gary (Kevin Harvey) and Beardy (David Nellist), are sometimes to be found in a greasy spoon, wearing hi-vis tabards, indicating some sort of building-trade front. Bull used to be a London gangland enforcer working for Norm (David Hayman), who, among many unsavoury concerns, runs a dodgy butcher’s business forcing food suppliers to accept his dodgy meat. You don’t expect anything soft and relaxing from Maskell, and you don’t get it.
Neil Maskell stars as the titular Bull, and for those of us who have enjoyed this actor’s powerfully charismatic and disturbing performances in the past, particularly in Ben Wheatley’s films, the casting should tip you off. But I have to admit to finding the female characters less interesting than they were in London to Brighton – and opinions might divide about the ending here, which the movie both telegraphs in advance and yet also diverts your attention away from, with a shuffling of the timeline. There are brilliant moments here, and Bull is arguably as good as, say, Shane Meadows’s much-admired Dead Man’s Shoes, in a similarly relentless vein. Paul Andrew Williams’s revenge nightmare is a stomach-turningly violent gangland shocker that returns this film-maker to territory he first staked out with his 2006 feature debut, the lowlife thriller London to Brighton. You see that’s how good this movie is it demands three titles. Lastly, I hope! The dvd title for the UK is. Along with them titles comes different review ratings. What I did not know at the time of writing was that this movie has three titles to confuse us with. Update.I will still keep my original review above. If you want to see a film you will remember for being raw, dark, dramatic and enthusiastically made then this will not disappoint. Our films often go under the spotlight because we don’t need blockbuster budgets and cgi. In fact, I was going to rate this a four.I will change that to 5 ⭐️ because everything about this film inc the fine performances from a strong cast was just everything what the British film industry is about and what Hollywood just simply is not. This is original, this is serious and a great film. I never looked at the clock once thinking how long left like when watching a boring Hollywood remake of a remake. This is yet another meaty, gritty, dramatic Brit film that we are so damn good at making. but wait! That is from reviews on IMDb where you take the reviews as serious as you would an mp on helium. I can’t understand the 3 1/2 overall rating for this film.
