I am surprised that this has yet to be brought up on this board, but I thought that Graham's performance was outstanding. Incredibly intense and captivating from his introduction.
It takes a strong actor (and script) to create a character who makes a viewer feel constantly on edge and waiting for an explosion (e.g. the car scene). Similarly to Pesci in Goodfellas, Norton in American History X and Nicholson in The Shining, Graham's portrayal of Combo really is up there in my opinion. Especially considering many of his scenes are with a young boy, they play off of each other extremely well.
All in all, I think Graham is what takes this film from a 7 to an 8. Do you folks agree?

Srephen Graham is one of my favorite British actors. Love Love Loved him in Snatch. For non-American's who have not seen the show, check him out as Al Capone in the series Boardwalk Empire. If I hadn't know he was from England beforehand, would have thought he was from the US. (I only say or non-americans because according to my friends in England, they do not show BE in Europe)

Graham is brilliant in this.
I have mentioned it before but never got any kind of response, but it seems like the acting role of a skinhead leader really leads to some amazing performances.
Graham in This Is England
Russel Crowe in Romper Stomper
Norton in American History X
Cole Hauser in Higher Learning

Are you a bug Bill Murray?
