Red Riding: 1974, Part 1
horizontal line

A heavy Yorkshire accent and a convoluted plot hinder this dark, well-acted, slow-moving, factually inspired film noir, which is directed by Julian Jarrold and adapted from David Peace's bestselling crime novels and based on the Yorkshire ripper case, about an ambitious, idealistic crime journalist (Andrew Garfield) who suffers beating and after beating as he investigates the rape and brutal murder of a young girl in 1974 and stumbles on a corrupt police force (David Morrissey, John Henshaw, Warren Clarke, et al.) in Yorkshire and a greedy land developer (Sean Bean) while falling for the mother (Rebecca Hall) of one victim.
