The Case of Charles Peace

A thoroughly enjoyable movie, and a true story. Michael Martin Harvey does a wonderful job bringing Peace to life. He portrays him as charismatic and enigmatic, a larger than life figure, who used his confidence tricks to cheat those around him. He shows some real versatility in the part.

Shocking yo think he got away with so many crimes, although from the movie we get that he was a very convincing, devious man. Don't be convinced by the early courtroom scenes, which are a little sluggish, it develops very nicely as it progresses.

It's a well made film, nicely edited, well acted, and definitely not boring. I found the fight scenes pretty convincing, better than many today.

Very watchable, 8/10
