Review of Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman (2005) by Harry T — 25 May 2008
Left me breathless. Spall is outstanding as he plays such subdued decency and understanding. The detachment and professionalism always in tension with the moral questions Pierrepoint's job raised. And without the melodrama and sentiment.
One of the best biopics I've ever seen.
