I really enjoyed this low budget film. It was very well acted and also made me laugh a few times. One must remember that this was based on true events. Good movie other than the lame ending.
Plot summary
Based on the true story of Frank Mitchell who was sprung from Dartmoor Prison by the Krays 10 days before Christmas 1966. Whilst a national manhunt ensued, he was holed up in a flat in East London with a minder and hostess for company. 'The Mad Axeman' is a gripping suspense crime thriller.

The Krays themselves appear only fleetingly in what is basically a three-hander 90% of which takes place in a free house lovingly decked out wIth sixties knickknacks like a Toby jug and Bush portable radio.
The revelation in the closing credits that it originated as a play serves only to confirm a suspicion already long formed.

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.
