"BOILING POINT" (2021) Directed by Philip Barantini

"As is so often the case, I watched this film without any prior knowledge, trailers, reviews, preconceived ideas as to what the film may be about and centrally on the basis of the marquee headliner. At the time of release two years ago, this was the 42nd feature length acting credit for Liverpool born Stephen Graham and a continuation of a career that has seen the incredibly talented Liverpudlian become a called upon stalwart for Martin Scorsese as well as working with the calibre of directors such as Guy Ritchie (Snatch), Shane Meadows (This is England), Tom Hooper (The Damned United), Michael Mann (Public Enemies), Tomas Alfredson (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) and all whilst becoming arguably even more famous and recognisable on the smaller screen in the fantastic television series Taboo as well as portraying Al Capone in the phenomenon that was Boardwalk Empire.

In short, I’m a big fan.

After watching Boiling Point, my admiration has grown immeasurably".
