Lie Exposed (2019)
Stunning
Leslie Hope spectacular, brave, funny and gripping in this role-- she doesn't put a foot wrong. The direction was gorgeous, worth the price of admission alone; managing to be sensitive and boldly confident at the same time. The supporting cast as well, are all spot on. The writing is provocative, sad, humorous, strange--never predictable. A unique and lovely film.
A Tale of Two Thieves (2014)
Fun, Tongue-in-Cheek Doc
Really enjoyed this documentary-- especially the tone, which seemed to underline the period, the heist/caper aspects to the story, as well as Gordon Goody's light touch as he recounts some pretty dark events from his life. As well, the idea that the truth behind a 50 year old cold case (the infamous 'Ulsterman' identity) was finally revealed, makes it unique amongst the many documentaries--not to mention dramatizations- that have covered this story over the years.
Can't say I agree with the one critic review posted here. Just browsing around I found at least 4 others from more credible sources:
The Smithsonian: The Big Mystery Behind the Great Train Robbery May Finally Have Been Solved" by Carrie Hagen.
The Guardian: "The Quiet Train Robber Reveals Identity of the Gang's Mystery Insider" by Tracy McVeigh
