🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a tense, noir-inflected narrative that relies on the moral corrosion of its protagonist. It explores the claustrophobic world of organized crime where every alliance is fragile.
What lingers after the credits is the stark portrayal of a man trapped by circumstance, where the grey streets of London become a character in themselves. A solid, gritty entry in the British crime cycle. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: John Lemont
