This week we’re looking at films about real life career criminals, spending a lot of time behind bars. First up is The Who Films’ McVicar (1980) with Roger Daltry playing the eponymous McVicar from a script by McVicar based on the book by McVicar. Next we cover Mark “Chopper (2000)” Read, legendary Aussie stand-over man and potential toecutter. We finish on Tom Hardy’s spectacular portrayal of Britain’s most dangerous criminal: Charles Bronson (2008). Now sit down, and shut it! Also: We do our Tom Hardy impressions. Scum (1979).
