Rating: 1/4 --
...a worthless waste of time that wears out its welcome almost immediately.

Rating: B- --
Doesn't capture the whole of Greeneland, but at least portrays one aspect of it reasonably well.

One Guy's Opinion
Rating: 3/4 --
Evocative music and stylish visual flourishes from first-time director Rowan Joffe bring heft to a predictable thriller set during a summer of youthful unrest.

USA Today
Riley is a fine actor but here embodies brooding paranoia and cruelty on such a single note, he's as much EastEnders villain as anything.

The Spectator
Rating: B- --
There's a brutish beauty to the mean world of Brighton Rock that feels very '40s even in the '60s.

Detroit News
Joffe's removal of the story from the classical theatricality of the 1930s to the more contemporary and hip aesthetic of the 1960s just doesn't work in all the ways he may have intended.

Trespass
Drab in color, with very little of Brighton-they shot in neighboring Eastbourne, apparently because Brighton is too posh now to be its old self.

Product Description:
Screenwriter Rowan Joffe makes his feature directorial debut with this adaptation of author Graham Greene's 1939 novel about an ambitious British gangster who will stop at nothing in his quest for ultimate power. Britain, 1964: Pinkie (Sam Riley) is well on his way to becoming one of the most powerful figures in the British underworld when naïve waitress Rose (Andrea Riseborough) links him to a brutal murder. In order to ensure that Rose remains silent about the crime, Pinkie seduces her, and begins tracking her every move. John Hurt, Andy Serkis, Sean Harris, and Oscar winner Helen Mirren co-star.
