A credit to all concerned, 22 August 2003
8/10
Author: bruce-j-patience from Melbourne, Australia

Generally entertaining and interesting screen portrayal of the life and times of Australia's most notorious underworld figure.

David Atkinson actor did a fine job of capturing the true essence of Squizzy Taylor and there was some excellent support from the rest of the cast as well.

The film has a good look about it and seems to have been reasonably well researched.

The only minor fault that I could spot came near the end. In the scene where Taylor emerges from his flat to be driven to his showdown with Cudmore ... the building in question obviously dates from a much later period than the 1920s. But, that it definitely nit picking.

On the whole,this production was a credit to all concerned.
