CGiii Comment
The true-life story of Paul Ferris...CORRECTION: a completely fabricated account of a thug.
The City of Glasgow flatly refused permission for filming - presumably they read the script. So, London's East End becomes Glasgow - further embellishing the lies that this film promulgates.
The supporting cast are bad - particularly the 'known' names...the 2 central performances are decent enough but it's the direction that really throws this to the wall. Burdis is a hack - this being his first film in 13 years...hopefully, it will be another 13 years before he releases another hatchet job.
Shameful filmmaking. It's not even worth watching to play: spot the gay gangster!
