The Crew trailer

Adapted from the best-selling novel Outlaws by Kevin Sampson (Awaydays), comes the stylish heist movie THE CREW, released on DVD on 12 January from Momentum Pictures.

THE CREW is the gangster movie everyone is talking about, bloodier than Rise of the Foot Soldier, more brutal than The Football Factory.

Against this brutal backdrop the Brennan gang, led by the charming but ruthless Ged Brennan (Williams) pursue the dying trade of old time heists. Now with two decades of meticulously planned jobs behind him, Ged is looking to turn his back on this life….but not before one final heist. However when members of his own gang turn against him, Ged must use all his skills, street cred and friends in low places to ensure the stains vanish without a trace.
