BRIGHTON ROCK

“Graham Greene's Shocking Thriller of the RAZOR GANGS!”

Centring on the activities of a gang of assorted criminals and, in particular, their leader – a vicious young hoodlum known as "Pinkie" – the film's main thematic concern is the criminal underbelly evident in inter-war Brighton.
