Brighton, 1964. Organised crime has moved into this sleepy English seaside town. Ambitious young gangster Pinkie Brown (Sam Riley) is determined to stop other gangs taking over his patch, but when he kills a rival, vital evidence falls into the innocent hands of a young impressionable waitress, Rose (Andrea Riseborough). Pinkie seduces Rose to stop her talking but her employer, Ida (Helen Mirren), is suspicious of their relationship. A year before the abolition of the death penalty, can Pinkie trust Rose not to betray him and can Rose trust Pinkie not to make her his next victim?

Theatrical report

Nineteen-sixty-bloody-four. The war is over, the recovery is over and Britain is about to discover swinging. That's the good part of Brighton Rock. The rest is brutal. Short, brutal lives and coming to a bad end. Mods and rockers. Weekend riots. Bad girls and the decline of the tea room. This is a really good British film.

BTW Brighton Rock is a hard candy.

The crime, thriller, UK movie Brighton Rock is directed by Rowan Joffe and stars Sam Riley, Andrea Riseborough, Helen Mirren.
