    Produced by stars Roger Daltrey and Adam Faith, and boasts a soundtrack produced by Jeff Wayne. Is it any surprise that music plays a pervasive role in this screen adaptation of former armed-robber-turnedjournalist John McVicar's 1974 autobiography? It's just a shame the filmmakers didn't go full rock opera, which might have transformed a perfectly solid biopic into something exceptional. Extras find Daltrey discussing his transformation into a movie hardman and McVicar reflecting on his relationship with his estranged son.
