Following in the footsteps of his father and uncle before him, Albert Pierrepoint (Timothy Spall) joins the 'family business'. He becomes the most feared and respected executioner in Britain, hanging over 450 people before his sudden resignation in 1956. Living a double life as a master craftsman hangman, and as a grocery deliveryman and loyal husband, Pierrepoint's obsession with becoming the 'Number One' executioner in the country results in a fate he could not have chosen.

Recensie (1)
A typically British grim drama about a man who, after years of executions, comes to the conclusion that the killers were not the convicts, but himself. An incredible performance by Timothy Spall, who was genuinely frightened as he executed with a completely calm expression on his face. Also worth mentioning is the great musical score. In short, the British can make films of any genre and The Last Hangman is no exception.
