When life loses its purpose, only violence can have meaning. In a small English town, three teenage boys are drawn into a world of temptation, violence and destruction. Bored, troubled, excluded and unable to accept or even to recognise moral boundaries, they move inexorably towards a shocking act that will horrify their sleepy community and expose its deepest, hidden fears. Brutal, explosive and uncompromising, The Great Ecstasy Of Robert Carmichael is a devastating account of the depths to which people can sink and features an outstanding performance from Danny Dyer at his most viscious, malevolent and ferocious best.
