Review of Brighton Rock (1948) by Sean C — 17 Jul 2010
It's dinky little Sir Richard Attenborough before he bored the arse of us with his Gandhi Oscar acceptance speeches playing criminal Pinkie in this classic take on the Graham Greene novel. I was slightly tickled by the disclaimer at the start that lets you know that none of what goes on in the flick represents what Brighton is now like (in 1947 that is).
..yeah right! Anyhow, its well acted and whilst anything that's tagged as a classic is never quite how you would expect on a first watch it's still a great flick. The photography is good too, dig that ghost train ride and the editing.
