The movie Twin Town was released in 1997 and was directed by Kevin Allen. It stars real-life twin brothers Llyr Ifans and Rhys Ifans as the Lewis Twins. The film is a dark comedy that explores the gritty side of life in Swansea, a city located in South Wales.
The story begins when the Lewis Twins' father, Fatty, falls off a roof while working for Bryn Cartwright, a wealthy businessman who controls much of the city. The twins and their family seek compensation for Fatty's injuries, but their demands are ignored by Cartwright. Frustrated and angry, the twins begin a campaign of revenge against Cartwright and his associates, which includes vandalism, theft, and even murder.
As the twins continue their rampage, they cross paths with local policemen Terry and Grayo, who are involved in a drug deal with Cartwright. Terry and Grayo are unable to stop the twins, and the situation spirals out of control, leading to a violent and chaotic climax.
The movie features a cast of Welsh actors, including Dougray Scott, Sue Roderick, and William Thomas. It was praised for its dark and irreverent humor, as well as its gritty portrayal of life in a working-class Welsh community. However, some critics felt that the film was too violent and graphic, particularly in its depiction of drug use and violence.
