Not what i Expected
A dark and gritty movie set in 19th Century London. Its basically a murder hunt with a lot of clever plot twists and side stories. The central 'detective' character is played by the brilliant Bill Nighy and it is he who must ascertain whether Olivia Cooke's character had good cause to murder her husband or whether she did murder him at all. It flows very well and you will find yourself drawn into the main characters life which is far from flawless. Well worth a watch if you enjoyed Michael Caine's Jack the Ripper.

Dark, gritty, realistic
A great mini series centred around the opium trafficking that originated from Pakistan. Various characters including business men and politicians become embroiled in a very complicated and convoluted plot that seeks to stop to stem the flow of opium being trafficked.

Extensive probe into racial hatred, murder and racial violence existing in the era. (2 more)
Superbly written and there's no holding back with the violence and language.
Incredibly good read, but it's a painful journey of life at that time.
This is an intricate story, reaching back through the generations of civil rights - gritty indeed.

Great Thriller
Great little known thriller. One of Paul Walker's lesser known films, but one of his best. A gritty and violent story of how a hand gun changes hands over the course of a night. Almost has an anthology feel as several side stories weave together. If you like Goodfellas you should like this!
