Based on the 1938 British noir classic by Graham Greene, 'Brighton Rock' is set in the Mods and Rockers era of the 60s. It charts the headlong fall of Pinkie (Riley, 'Control'), a razor-wielding disadvantaged teenager hell bent on clawing his way up through the ranks of organised crime. At the heart of the story is Pinkie's relationship with Rose (the superlative Andrea Riseborough, 'Never Let Me Go'), an apparently innocent young waitress who stumbles on evidence linking Pinkie and his gang to a revenge killing. Ambitious but superbly realised, Joffe’s 'Brighton Rock' more than stands comparisons to the 1947 original.
