Fred

Just watched on Netflix. A good insight in to the life of a famous and notorious gangster. Keeps you engaged all the way through but you get the distinct feeling Freddie is holding back, which makes it a little more interesting in a lot of ways. Recommended.

But respect for someone who only hurt the bad guys ! Nothing wrong with revenge when you have no respect for the law dealing with killers and thugs

Interesting if rather sparse look at one of British gangland's celebrated geezers.

It's not the best made documentary ever made but the subject matter propels it along at a fair pace.

Whilst entertaining to a point it becomes rather sad when we learn about how far down the system this once 'crime king' has fallen. No more do casinos or gyms bring in the dough for this elderly ex-gangster who incidentally was one of the first people to import a Pac-Man video game into the UK. The fact that most of his family want nothing to do with him prompts the saying that crime does not pay, especially in respect from your loved ones.

The filmmakers have taking a great subject and made something resembling a student film. Fred Foreman story is great but I don't feel the story really came out here, it was just Fred saying "no I'm not answer that question" over and over again. He obviously didn't have any type of rapport with the interviewer.

Stark insight into one of the most notorious old school London gangsters.
