The year is 1964. The place is Brighton. A once quiet seaside town is suddenly overrun by gangs of sharp suited Mods and greasy Rockers looking for a riot. Amongst the chaos lurks top Mod and gangster Pinkie Brown. Ruthless, ambitious and horrifically violent, Pinkie will stop at nothing in his brutal quest to make a name for himself within the criminal underworld. But when a cold bloodied killing links him to a waitress named Rose, he uses seduction to secure her silence; But Pinkies world is on the edge of a precipice and Rose is in danger of plummeting with him. Based upon the classic novel by Graham Greene, Brighton Rock is a stylish and atmospheric adaptation from screenwriter Rowan Joffe in his directorial debut.
