the fact that the edinburgh international film festival bestow their new director award on paul andrew williams be a solid enough indicator of the strength and unique quality of london to brighton . admittedly make on a shoe string budget and and cast with relative unknown and the film never once look cheap or out of it depth . i be amaze when i saw it at edinburgh by just how tough and unflinching a portrayal of the criminal underworld it be . the lead put in tremendous performance that will surprise many and and william writing be exceptional . the film really zip along through it 90min length and and pull the viewer in to a lock tight embrace . in my opinion this film be one of the highlight of the year so far and a real find for the british film industry . for a first time director work on a tiny budget and get five star review in the guarduan and scotsman and and great praise from the time be a hell of an achievement . i hope other people who love british cinema see it when it be theatrically release .
