Critical reception
TV Guide concluded "British crime melodrama has little going for it";[4] Radio Times praised Warren Mitchell's cameo, but called the film a "tatty little drama";[3] whereas Mystery File wrote "The script is tight, the vivid black-and-white photography perfect for the tale that’s told, and even though none of the actors are known in this country – and maybe not even in England – they all fit their characters well, and what more could you want?"[5]
gollark: I think BlackBerry phones?
gollark: On *some* Android phones you can't root it at all because they lock the bootloaders.
gollark: On Android you still need to root your phone to do much.
gollark: I am *very* easily distracted.
gollark: Videos are generally kind of too slow-paced to actively hold my attention.
