Charlie Movie Review 2004

Based on the actual events of South London's "Torture Gang" leader Charlie Richardson's (Goss) barbaric 1960s underworld reign. Dramatizes the gang's 1966 trial after Richardson is caught doing shady deals with a South African diamond baron. Director Needs' dizzying flashbacks are intense but also question whether the group was really to blame.
