The Mad Axeman

After watching this film I logged on to Imdb to look at the reviews. I was quite surprised by all the negative reviews. It was no Oscar winner I would agree but not a bad watch on the whole. It tells the true story of Frank Mitchell a career criminal hard man who escapes from prison and holds up in a safe house provided by the notorious Kray twins. I thought the acting by the three main characters was not as as bad as others had stated, and I quite enjoyed it.

Brings a whole new low to low budget

Essentially filmed in two rooms and the back of a van featuring anonymous actors. In real life Mitchell's body was trussed up in chicken wire and dumped in the English Channel. This is what they should have done with this film.

Absolutely rubbish film totally disappointing

One of the worst films I have ever sat and watched. Terrible acting.

I don't regret watching it but I would've been fine not watching it.

Best way I can describe it is..it's a short story based on a real event. Nothing happens. The acting was good idk what the others are talking about. It's going to be easy to forget..but I mean a good peek inside a true mobster that escaped prison. So if your a gangster/mob buff I'm sure you'd appreciate it.
