Gary Stretch, i want my hour & a half back!

Think i've just watched one of the worst Brit, action, gangster films ever! Gry Stretch was the main man in a film called 'the heavy'. Just a quick heads up if you havnt seen it...DONT!

I'm now thorouly glad he was punished by Eubankth.

In fairness, though, he was marvellous in "Dead Man's Shoes", one of the best British films of any description of the past twenty years.

He boxed OK until Eubank got interested.

Never heard of him..but surely the film can't be any worse than any of the recent steven seagal movies..

Is Dead Man's Shoes the one about the doorman or the one where the guys getting revenge for his brother? i've seen Eubank v Stretch but can't remember seeing him in the film.

He was in both at once... hence his loss to Eubank......

Brits are very good at multi-tasking..

It's been a long day, but it was worth the wait. That was damned funny, and it's a good job my wife hadn't yet brought me my Horlicks.

DMS is the one with the army brother going back home and looking for revenge, GG. If you don't know the film, I urge you to seek it out.

Brilliant, it is.

Couldn't agree more. Cracking watch.

Would echo the thoughts of the captain on 'Dead Man's Shoes.' Very good film from Meadows, as ever. Considine is excellent, too.

Have seen it Captain, great film. Is stretch one of the guy's in the house that gets fed all the Acid. Was getting mixed up with Dead Man's Cards which has Paul Barber (Denzil) out of Only Fools and Horses, and is also a good film. On having a look at the IMDB link i know who he is now.

The one where he's an ex-Navy Seal who's family are murdered by corrupt politician, or the one where he's an ex-CIA agent who's family are murdered by a corrupt politician? It doesn't matter, both formats are equally as brilliant
