Twin Town has been dubbed 'the Welsh Trainspotting', but Kevin Allen, the director insists that the story is not Welsh, but universal. With it’s credentials of Danny Boyle and Andrew Macdonald as executive producers, big things were expected of this movie. But, in swapping the smack for glue and Glasgow for Swansea, something has been lost. Originality, coherence, burnout and plot, to name but four.

Two nasty twin brothers, Julian and Jeremy Lewis (played by real-life siblings Rhys Ifans and Llyr Evans), spend most of their time in a drug-fuelled haze driving around the Welsh town of Swansea in stolen cars, while their sister Adie (Rachel Scorgie) works as a receptionist at an "exclusive gentleman's health spa". Their father, Fatty Lewis (Huw Ceredig) is a local handyman, and when employed by the town’s Mr Big, Bryn Cartwright (William Thomas), he unfortunately breaks a leg falling from a ladder and is hospitalised. The twins demand compensation from Cartwright for their father’s injuries, when he refuses their request with crass arrogance they vow to exact revenge. The feud escalates insanely with Cartwright employing two crooked cops (Dorien Thomas and Dougray Scott) onto the Lewis family. What follows is a few spots of karaoke with karaoke king Dai Rees (Brian Hibbard) who's having an affair with Cartwright’s daughter, some beheaded pooches, dubious drug deals and explosions, until everything is wound up in a less than satisfactory manner.
