This could have been so much better why on earth do they not hire a decent continuity director. It's so fractious and chops from scene to scene with little explanation. It's like they left a quarter of it on cutting floor what a pity

Continuity of scenes please
Originally was an IMDB 9 point something rating...
Watched it on the pretext of the initially high IMDB rating and was just amazed how really poor the production was. Majority of the time the scenes were dimly lit, the acting from all those concerned were a bit wooden and you could see that the supporting cast of extras were REALLY acting (they seemed embarrassed to be there...).
The storyline appeared to be one punch up from start to finish, interspersed with people talking just before a punch up.
An easy film to miss, do some decorating instead, the time will be better used.
Peaky Blinders meets Legend
This film is a great period piece with an amazing costume set. A film that brilliantly portrays the true start of underworld crime in London. The storyline follows fact and the scenes are interspersed with some dark comedy to keep the viewer amused. The fight scenes are graphic and cleverly shot and the music score is ideal for the era and theme. Terry Stone has come on great leaps since the Rise films and this film shows a different class to his work. Great acting from the two lead parts in particular. Lots if familiar faces included in there. Give it a go, you'll enjoy this British masterpiece
