CineVegas Film Festival 2008

If you grow up in a rough neighborhood, you learn how to survive quickly. In the East End of London after World War II, survival for some kids led to violent lives. Pretty Boy Roy Shaw got into “unlicensed” boxing when he learned he was blessed with the power of punch. Danny Woollard beat up a man who owed him money—he became a professional enforcer. Victor Dark became a bank robber. And the filmmaker’s father, Les Falco, describes his own life without recommendation or criticism.

First-time filmmaker Nicola Collins explores the gritty complexity of these men's lives; infamous criminals that shaped their war-torn environment into a violent underworld. In fitting black-and-white portraits, the men do not leave anything grey—they talk about their extraordinary lives and their code of honor without shame or apologies. Film noir is too cute of a movie description. THE END is bare-knuckle reality.
