This is a tour De force for the very underrated Timothy Spall one of England's most accomplished actors,here he plays the part of Albert Englands last hangman and he is sensational,.
The story revolves around haow through secrecy he cannot divulge what he does for a living and how at the end of the film something happens that makes he question the morals of the job,greats supporting cast as well,
Beautifully filmed,this is British filming at its most harrowing and moving

I cannot comment to the factual accuracy of this movie. But as a movie which is based on a true life (with creativity added in?) it is very atmospheric and the acting is superb. Well worth the watch.

I have to admit that I dont really know anything about Albert Pierrepoint, except what I have seen in this film. I believe it to be a great film, and it shows us a great insight into what it must have felt for Pierrepoint to have gon from being a so called celebrity, to everyone calling him a murderer.

I watched this film as part of my drama coursework last week, and since then have persued to buy the film, and do my own research into Albert Pierrepoint, as his life seems to have been rather memorable.

Overall, I would (without a doubt) buy this film as it is a great film to watch, maybe not for the light hearted but I thoroughlly enjoyed it.
