I finally saw Lee Ross' film HARD MEN last week, on video. It's a film
about three gangsters (for want of a better word), set in London. Lee is
excellent, in probably his best film role to date. He is in virtually every
scene, unlike his few scenes in SECRETS AND LIES. He plays a drug addicted
young hot head prone to sudden acts of cruel violence ! He is also very,
very funny and delivers some hilarious dialogue. The film is a kind of
dark, comedy and I highly reccomend it.

When we first see Lee he looks a lot like Kenny, very clean cut. Later
in the film he looks remarkably like Colin Matthews - with the distinctive
odd, ruffled hair that Paul Reynolds had in later PGs. Makes a change from
the scuzzy long haired thug he played in TRIAL AND RETRIBUTION.

The film, I suspect, will not be easy to find overseas.
It recieved a tiny cinema release
in the UK, and I doubt that it will be released theatrically in the US or
Australia.

Lee will next be seen in METROLAND with Emily Watson and Christian Bale.
This film will get a much wider release, I'm sure.
