We Still Kill the Old Way

We Still Kill the Old Way is a British crime drama film written by Dougie Brimson, Sacha Bennett and Gary Lawrence, directed by Sacha Bennett, and starring Ian Ogilvy, Alison Doody, Lysette Anthony and James Cosmo. Plot A retired East End gangster, Ritchie Archer, returns to London from Spain to investigate the violent sadistic murder of his brother, Charlie, at the hands of a local street gang called E2. In the process, Ritchie discovers that the police are deliberately delaying the case, out of incompetence, fear or both. Ritchie and his old mates gather to pay their last respects to Charlie, and then set about getting revenge. They start by abducting known associates of the gang's leader, Aaron, during which Ritchie suffers a heart attack and is taken to hospital. They use the investigating detective-inspector's daughter, Lauren, who had a short relationship with Aaron and witnessed Charlie's murder, to trick E2 into trying to kill Ritchie in his hospital bed. The street gang is subsequently ambushed, culminating in a shoot-out; a number of gang members are either incapacitated or killed, and Roy is wounded. Aaron threatens to kill Lauren if the older gang does not surrender. They do so but Ritchie and Aaron fight regardless until armed police arrive on the scene and kill Aaron. The epilogue shows the old gangsters at the private airport, saying their goodbyes to Ritchie's helicopter when he suddenly appears at their side, mentioning something they did "in 1969, with Charlie", Roy adds "in Turin".
