Review of Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman (2005) by Scott G — 22 Nov 2011

Timothy Spall is Albert Pierrepoint the most highly proffessional and praised hangmen in 50s britain, here, we see him doing his job anomymous to his friends and local community, and then finally his secret coming out, after a stink executing war criminals, a look back at a time when executrions was a case of taking a guy into a room and its over before we know it, but his methods and preperations were the best and well regarded within the system, a interesting look at the time, good production value, and spall on fire in a role with lots of emotion throughout.
