" First Viewing Viewing Date: March 6th Via: SBS On Demand Plot: An up-and-coming gangster is tested by the insurgence of an unknown, very powerful threat. Rating: 6.7/10 Why Did I Watch It? It's something of an iconic British gangster movie, and I had to check it out - especially since it was free on SBS."
" "What I'm looking for is someone who can contribute to what England has given to the world: culture, sophistication, genius. A little bit more than an 'ot dog, know what I mean?" Directed by John Mackenzie Written by Barrie Keeffe Music by Francis Monkman Cinematography by Phil Meheux Editing by Mike Taylor"
" Notes: To be honest, I had a rather hard time to get into the whole thing. I mean, the first 10 minutes were almost impossible to follow and then the rest of the movie was still rather hard to decipher. I mean, even the characters had no clue about what was going on and it started to grow thin after a while. Of course, in the last 10-20 minutes, you finally find out what was going on and, in retrospective, it was actually rather obvious. So, in my opinion, even though the plot was entertaining"
