Ray Winstone - Film - Nil By Mouth
This gritty Brit film is set in the east end of London. Winstone plays the central character Ray, an indiscriminate violent man who resorts to taking out his frustrations on his desperate wife, played by Kathy Burke. The film is harrowing and pulls no punches in its portrayal of Ray's hopelessness and desperation as his tough world disintegrates around him. All the actor's put in excellent performances and the film should be viewed more than once to be appreciated. Contains strong language.
