Gangs, pimps and thieves rule the dark streets of 18th-century London. With a culture steeped in this much corruption, some much-needed law and order must be established. Enter two Westminster magistrates, the brothers Fielding: the novelist Henry (Ian McDiarmid, Star Wars films) and his blind half brother John (Iain Glen, Tara Road), who are widely credited for creating the blueprint for Britain's modern police force. Benefitting from authentic historical research, vivid storytelling and breakthrough cinematography, City of Vice masterfully captures the intense power of crime from a bygone time. Recommended for mature viewers.
