This tends to prove that Britain can turn out a gangster picture as brutal as any Hollywood had devised.

Variety
4 stars out of 4 -- [T]he film shows British cinema in its darkest vintage: an evocation of a dangerous, moth-eaten, but oddly glamorous bygone world.
Uncut
Brighton Rock is worth another viewing simply as a reminder that gangster films are meant to be unsettling.

Guardian
Rating: 5/5 --
John Boulting's adaptation of Graham Greene's classic novel stakes its claim as one of the darkest films ever to be made on these shores.

Brighton Rock is disappointing and difficult to follow. Those who have not read the book will be completely at sea, and those who have will be irritated at the tricks played with a superb story.

Monthly Film Bulletin
Although the movie depicts Brighton's masses at play in the sun, its true world is that of film noir.

Artforum
A seedy noir, equal parts concealed-camera atmosphere and tense set pieces.

Product Description:
As cheap gangster Pinkie Brown, Attenborough is in top form, rashly commiting a murder and using a waitress to provide his alibi with unexpected consequences. Based on the novel by Graham Greene. Terrence Rattigan collaborated on the screenplay. AKA "Young Scarface."
