Cinemavixion Review

This documentary delves into the brutal evolution of gang culture in Birmingham, tracing its roots from the early 20th century to more recent, violent manifestations. Narrated by Martin Kemp, the film explores how criminal networks expanded from the city's racetracks to become a national concern. It highlights the stark contrast between earlier organized crime and the brazen, daylight violence of later years, where firearms became disturbingly commonplace. The documentary examines two pivotal gangland attacks and the bravery of individuals who risked everything to seek justice. Through an immersive journey across the UK, Kemp investigates the figures who once dominated and those who now control Britain's underworld, offering a compelling look at the enduring and changing nature of gang crime.
