Anthony John Maffia aka The Magpie, a thief of some notoriety, and a friend of The Kray brothers is killed, Stephen Crown Jewel is arrested, he claims Maffia was killed by three men, and that it was a gang killing.
It's a very interesting story, I find the crimes of this particular era fascinating, there was a certain style and malice, that's very evident here.
Jewel's story must have seemed so unlikely, but he was well and truly stitched up for the murder, who knows what on Earth was doing on behind the scenes.
It looks very good, the black and white camera work really does capture the late 1970's very well.
One thing that's notable in the early years, the presence of Edward Woodward, who appears way more than be would in the later years.
7/10.
