National Theatre Live: Hangmen
In his small pub in the northern English town of Oldham, Harry is something of a local celebrity. But what's the second-best hangman in England to do on the day they've abolished hanging? Amongst the cub reporters and pub regulars dying to hear Harry's reaction to the news, his old assistant Syd and the peculiar Mooney lurk with very different motives for their visit.

Reviews
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
