Dead Man's Cards

WHAT'S IT ABOUT? A boxer, flukily married to Samantha Janus, picks up a job as a doorman in a Liverpool boozer. He and fellow hardcase - Paul Barber - then face-off against local 'businessmen' using their brains, knuckles and, nope, that's it...

ANY GOOD? Hard-edged Brit drama with 'Western'-style plotline. Assured first-time direction from newcomer James Marquand, too.

QUOTE FOR THE POSTER: 'The grittiest thing to come out of Liverpool since Brookside and Mel C!'

REASON TO WATCH: To see Paul Barber (Only Fools' Denzil) convincingly kick the total s**t out of people at the age of 84.
