London to Brighton

The climax of this lean, taut thriller is as direct and devastating as the rest of the film. It’s a blistering debut.

Its tautness is satisfying. Not one line of dialogue is superfluous, not one take is a second too long.

From the near-hysteria of this compelling opening sequence, Paul Andrew Williams's taut, tough and thoroughly satisfying drama grips the viewer and never lets go until its brutal, surprising conclusion.

Distinguished by its sharp compositions, heartfelt performances and unexpected tenderness, it unfolds as a compelling tale in which the influence of Ken Loach is marbled with the brutality of Get Carter.
