On more than one occasion Shallow Grave tries to turn violent in the fiendish ways of the Coen brothers' first movies, but while it has some of the Coens' gore, it has none of their glee. Shallow Grave brings to mind two other nervy movies of late, The Grifters and The Last Seduction. For different reasons, all three are great to look at, but only the former two make good on their promises. Shallow Grave boasts smugness the likes of which you wipe your feet on.
