Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By David Stratton (799) for At the Movies (Australia) (716) on 12 Apr 2011

Joffe has retained the ending Greene and Rattigan devised for the original film; the book's ending is different, but I always preferred the…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Louise Keller (804) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 08 Apr 2011

The film looks wonderful with moody lighting, haunting cinematography and affecting music score, but the characters are jumbled and confusing…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Philip Kemp (186) for Sight and Sound (827) on 08 Feb 2011

As Joffe has always made clear, this isn't a remake of the Boultings' film; it's a new adaptation of Graham Greene's 1938 novel…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Lisa Giles-Keddie (242) for Real.com (194) on 06 Feb 2011

A platform for showcasing some excellent British talent in an old-fashioned, but strikingly modern way that is sure to bring its younger stars…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Amber Wilkinson (674) for Eye for Film (1,537) on 06 Feb 2011

Succumbing to rather too much melodrama in the final third, which undercuts the chilliness of what has gone before, this is nonetheless an…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 04 Feb 2011

[W]ickedly unsettling... [W]e're never sure who's feeling what, or why, or to what extremes they're capable of going…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Derek Malcolm (772) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 04 Feb 2011

You can't deny that the cast, which also includes Andy Serkis, Phil Davis, Sean Harris and Nonso Anozie, is more than capable…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Catherine Jones (104) for Liverpool Echo (161) on 04 Feb 2011

Brighton Rock lacks the intensity and menace of the 1947 film version, but Joffe shows promise behind the camera…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Matthew Turner (2,508) for ViewLondon (2,339) on 03 Feb 2011

Joffe's disappointing re-interpretation of Greene's 1938 novel starts brilliantly but quickly becomes flat and boring thanks to a dull script,…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Tim Robey (1,578) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 03 Feb 2011

So much is muddled and just messed up, the fruit of uncertainty rather than bold vision…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 03 Feb 2011

A bold and exhilarating picture, summoning up, in its own way, a chill seafront breeze of guilt and shame…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Nigel Andrews (1,359) for Financial Times (1,822) on 02 Feb 2011

The film has style, verve, craft and not least a knowledge of when to lie low and let Greene's story speak for itself…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 02 Feb 2011

I wasn't completely blown away by this film and its melodramatic finale, but it does have quite a bit to recommend it…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Tim Evans (725) for Sky Cinema (1,726) on 02 Feb 2011

An emotionally unsatisfying drama unfolding in a pretty shell…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Philip De Semlyen (78) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 31 Jan 2011

Greene fans will raise a sceptical eyebrow, but it's an adaptation brimming with enough ideas to justify this second stick of Rock…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for News of the World (402) on 31 Jan 2011

The awfulness ranges from terrible judgement calls, such as the deranged soundtrack, cardboard sets and hilariously OTT grimness, to more surreal…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Andrew Lowry (88) for Total Film (3,532) on 28 Jan 2011

Enough is done right to make you wish they'd made better decisions and everything looks good in this colour noir…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Pam Grady (384) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 21 Dec 2010

Control's Sam Riley steps into a role made unforgettable by a young Richard Attenborough in the 1947 original and makes it his own, slipping…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Nick Deigman (49) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Dec 2010

Rowan Joffe is an extremely talented artist and one of the jewels in the crown of British cinema at present, but this film is pointless and…

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Charlie Lyne (195) for Ultra Culture (187) on 14 Nov 2010
