Face
The blag to kill for. Only one of them meant it for real.
Directed by Antonia Bird
Produced by BBC Film
A gritty crime drama about aging criminals whose final heist unravels into betrayal and violence, anchored by a protagonist whose ideological disillusionment has led him to crime.
Ray is an aging ex-socialist who has become a bankrobber after seeing the demise of socialism in 1980s Britain. Teaming up with a gang of other has-beenish crims, he commits one bank job too many. The gang dissolves in a murderous flurry of recriminations.
