  • An educational and moving film

    A deeply disturbing, but enlightening film. It explores the most serious moral issues concerning life, death and justice. Pierrepoint himself is clearly an ordinary man who, by his background and his own strange motivation, finds himself in the most horrible of jobs. Very moving and compulsive. Also an interesting study in mob mentality: the hero is lauded by everyone for hanging the Nazi criminals, but then in the fifties becomes an object of hate, as more compassionate views about capital punishment take hold.

  • A good watch

    If you want excitement, noise and special effects this isn’t for you. Instead you get fantastic acting and an insight into the life and career of an extraordinary man. Moving and engaging, one of those movies you have to put on your movie bucket list.

  • Timothy Spall is an amazing actor.

    Timothy Spall is an amazing actor, one of the true greats. The subject matter of this DVD won't be to everyone's taste as it is a bit dark, but it is a true story, well written and great acting by the whole cast.

  • Modern History

    Anybody interested in modern history should see this, it is quite accurate and the acting in my opinion is fantastic, it's a shame that this countries movies don't appear to be treat as highly a Americans because again personal opinion they're as good and sometimes, such as this even better If you don't like to hear the sound of necks snapping then maybe you might think about it lol

  • A thought provoking film

    A thought provoking film, giving incite to the personality of a man able to do the job that he does. It shows the care and thought he had for the people he hanged and the aftercare, rather than leaving it to the morticians.

  • Awful subject sensitively handled

    Brilliant acting on a sensitive subject that held my attention from start to finish. Timothy Spall has come a long way and is so good in this.
