From the producers of ATONEMENT; Madman proudly presents the lavish and thrilling new adaptation of Graham Greene\u2019s classic novel, BRIGHTON ROCK \u2013 available on DVD (RRP: $34.95) and Blu-Ray (RRP: $39.95) from 17 August 2011.<\/p>\n
Taking place in Brighton, 1964 – whilst the turf war between the Mods and the Rockers was at its peak – rising star, Sam Reilly (CONTROL) stars as Pinkie Brown, an ambitious young gangster determined to enforce his claim on this sleepy English seaside town. When a rival ends up on the wrong end of Pinkie\u2019s switchblade, an impressionable young waitress, Rose (BAFTA-nominee Andrea Riseborough) comes into possession of vital evidence that would see him sentenced to death.<\/p>\n
Initially, in an effort to keep Rose away from the authorities, Pinkie sets out to romance her. But when Rose\u2019s employer, Ida – played by Academy-Award\u00ae-winning screen icon, Helen Mirren (THE QUEEN) \u2013 becomes aware of the relationship, she is suspicious of Pinkie\u2019s intentions and begins a campaign to thwart his advances. Can Pinkie trust Rose not to give him up? Or more to the point, can Rose trust Pinkie not make her his next victim?<\/p>\n
Also starring John Hurt (THE ELEPHANT MAN) and Andy Sirkis (the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy) in support roles, Rowan Joffe\u2019s BRIGHTON ROCK is a star-studded and stylish re-positioning of Greene\u2019s classic tale. Featuring sizzling performances and a grittily cool setting, BRIGHTON ROCK stakes its claim as a compelling entry into the stable of British noir.<\/p>\n
