About this event

A former boxer turned nightclub bouncer is drawn back into a world of violence when he is hired to protect an upmarket Manchester club. As rival criminals attempt to take control of the business, he finds himself caught between gang warfare, loyalty, and survival. A rough-edged British crime thriller from the early 1980s, the film belongs to the independent gangster cinema that emerged outside the mainstream, with a gritty northern setting and a focus on nightclub culture, intimidation, and street-level violence. Its low-budget atmosphere and exploitation influences make it a curiosity for fans of British crime cinema.
