Brighton Rock (2010 film)

Brighton Rock is a 2010 British crime film loosely based on Graham Greenes 1938 novel of the same name. Rowan Joff wrote the screenplay and directed the film, which stars Sam Riley, Andrea Riseborough, Andy Serkis, John Hurt, Sean Harris and Helen Mirren.

In 1964, Pinkie Brown, the sociopathic enforcer of a Brighton gang, murders Fred Hale, who has himself killed the gang leader, Kite. Brown befriends Rose, a young waitress who witnessed the gangs activity, to keep an eye on her. She falls in love with him. To prevent her from being compelled to give evidence against him, he marries her. Ida, Roses employer and a friend of Hales, takes it upon herself to save the girl from the monster she has married.Rowan Joff was originally uninterested in the project, which as first proposed was to be a remake of the film. After rereading the novel, however, Joff fell absolutely in love with the character of Rose and convinced the studio to let him adapt the novel directly. Joffe later explained why he did his own adaptation of the novel ........
