Media Reviews
On his return to North London after 10 years in prison former hard-man O'Grady finds that the Irish community has moved out of the area and many of his criminal friends have eased themselves into respectable middle age. An acclaimed noir thriller that convincingly portrays the dismembering effect of the 1980s on people and places.
