Review of Brighton Rock (1948) by Lucy W — 31 Dec 2012
An extremely effective crime thriller, gritty and realistic, that gets more and more interesting thanks to Attenborough's great performance as the deeply disturbed Pinkie Brown. Rose's character is very interesting aswell; although the film is a little bit updated at portraying women as powerless and sometimes even weak, Rose's disarming innocence is so honest that I admired her for her simplicity.
An excellent British film.
