Boiling Point

After early roles in Snatch and Gangs in New York, he rose to prominence playing skinhead Combo in Shane Meadows' This is England.

He since starred in movies including Martin Scorsese's The Irishman and the one-shot film Boiling Point, as well as TV series Boardwalk Empire, Line of Duty, Peaky Blinders, Thousand Blows, The Virtues, and the Netflix phenomenon Adolescence.

Fucking hell, that's a lot, that is.

[laughs]

Like in real life, if something goes wrong, we'll go with it.

Right, right, right.

Do you know what I mean? And it came from that Boiling Point.

Mm.

So we sort of had some early takes, sort of takes one to four on those episodes were shot the week before to give us some extra practice, I guess.

So Matt, you said you had done something big like this on Boiling Point.

It sounds like even longer if it's a feature.

Lee, had you ever done anything

However, the aim is, I guess, to have the most usable shot for the longest period of time.

So I think I had an understanding at least of what it took to.

um persevere in a one take but in terms of experience like boiling point i i didn't have anything so it was kind of my eagerness i guess to to come onto the job and hope that some of the stuff i'd done before would be useful you've

done a bunch of sort of live music sessions and those were the things that i saw and i was like this is I could see that you were able to read what's happening in front of you.

I feel like it's highly rated, but it's one of those that I think is only highly rated by the people who've seen it and just not enough people have seen it.

I was going to go with Philip Berentini's Boiling Point.

No, that's definitely.

Yeah.

um yeah that i and i like seeing trap on the graphic more than the dog stars is

camera yeah we're not fans but yeah

that'll do it for our draft so seth most underrated movies of the decade you selected ferrari cloud memoria resurrection and queer i selected the testament of ann lee the ballad of wallace island red rooms showing up and boiling point Cam selected Extraction slash Extraction 2.

We kind of went a two for one.

Also, we felt very, you know, I'm sorry that you also have this, but at the same time, this is really great because you will be able to get under the roots of this character and understand the fear that is involved.

So, and you know, Emily and I had a few conversations about anaphylaxis and because I have a bit, it's a bit more severe and just how that instant feeling of, oh my God, it's like sheer panic and you can't, see straight, you can't, it's fight or flight and relaying that to Emily and also being on set to kind of look at our amazing prosthetics designer, that makeup prosthetics designer, Rebecca, who actually worked on Boiling Point.

So she'd had experience kind of putting, yeah, putting together hives and et cetera.

So I was there to kind of check and just be like, oh, I think you need to pull back a bit or add a bit.

Mm.

I watched Boiling Point again.

You've seen that before.

Yeah, but it's so good.

And, um, I'm forgetting the name of it right now, but the one-take film with Stephen Graham.

Boiling Point.

Uh, Boiling Point.

Yes.

Yeah.
