There are moments in theatre that leave you breathless, where what unfolds on stage is enough to keep you mind whirring at such a pace that sleep, that welcome landing post in choppy waters between days, is impossible, that what has been seen in that form, will leave you reliving every sequence over and over again!

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

If there is an occupation that typifies the city of Liverpool, which the British public think of first when asked what job symbolises the city that gave The Beatles to the world, then surely without doubt the job of the Stevedore or the Dock worker would come out on top.

The British gangster drama, whether on television or in the cinema has never really captured the days of Brighton Rock with Richard Attenborough and William Hartnell or the fantastic The Long Good Friday with the much missed Bob Hoskins    and the excellent Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Since those days of cinematic greats the genre seems to have become too safe, it has waved a white flag in surrender to its American counterpart.
