Charlie (2004)

Directed by
Malcolm Needs

Plot outline:
A businessman. A gentleman. An animal. Opinions are mixed about real-life 60s gangster Charlie Richardson (Luke Goss) in this uneven biopic about the man who led London's notorious "Torture Gang". While the Krays ruled North London, Richardson and his gang stayed south of the river building an empire based on bribes, intimidation, and some claret-spurting violence. Revelling in the nastiness, writer-director Malcolm Needs stokes controversy, turning this dapper villain into a tragic hero. Straight up? Not on your nelly, me old china.

Based around the court case that sent the gangster down for a 25-year stretch, Charlie follows in the filmic footsteps of The Krays, stylishly recreating the criminal underworld of 60s London while charting the life and times of one of its nastiest members. [source: bbc.co.uk]
