Anyone interested after seeing this film [the 2011 version] should go straight to the 1947 original and the uncanny way in which the steadily decent and amiable Attenborough was so scary.

The future Lord Dickie's sinister stylings are what linger, especially the vitriolic audio recording he makes for his betrothed, done as if damnation were the most casual of enterprises.

A seedy noir, equal parts concealed-camera atmosphere and tense set pieces.

This tends to prove that Britain can turn out a gangster picture as brutal as any Hollywood had devised.
