Paul McGann is mesmerising as the small town undertaker forced into burying bodies for flipped out gangster Finlay, and delivers a dark but sympathetic performance as the pressure build and he goes vigilante to right the wrongs of the past. Great performances from Roger Barclay as Finally and Tara Fitzgerald as Vic to name but a few in a film layered with great performances, including the final on screen appearance of screen legend Murray Melvin. Set sometime in the early 1960s the film has a strange claustrophobic noirish vibe with the wall closing in on the grubby run down town that seems like a concrete maze with no escape.
