Review From Amazon

Despite the darkness of the subject matter, 'Pierrepoint' is a wonderful,utterly absorbing film. Timothy Spall is mesmerising as the famous executioner - he conveys the dignity and compassion of the man - and the reviewer who commented that he should have been given a raft of awards is quite right. The remainder of the cast are stellar - Juliet Stevenson brings a quiet depth to the role of Pierrepoint's wife which is a delight. And the little sub-plot with the friend, 'Tosh' (which I believe is a true story), is truly moving.
The film makes no judgments - it simply portrays Pierrepoint's life and the inner struggle he sometimes had in coming to terms with his curious calling: a calling he inherited from his father and uncle. Pierrepoint himself did not make judgments either, saying the law had already done that.
This will not be a film to everyone's taste, but for me it was a wonderful hour and a half.
