"I watched this many moons ago and nothing beats hearing Denzel Washington talk in a British cockney accent. It was shot partly in Tower Hamlets – Wagner Street in Mile End, to be exact. The film is a good start if you want some understanding of Thatcherism and police brutality in Britain. I think of the film whenever I listen to Steel Pulse’s “Tribute to the Martyrs” or Skepta’s “Konnichiwa”."
