Samuel LoveBack in the good old days, a rock band could launch a film production company, and produce a crime biopic with their lead singer in the title role. Simpler times, eh? Produced by The Who Films, McVicar sees Roger Daltrey tell the story of armed robber and prison escaper John McVicar.
The cult classic makes its Blu-ray debut thanks to Fabulous Films with the ‘Break-out Edition’, boasting a cracking new documentary and an insightful booklet telling the story of the film’s production.
McVICAR

Based on the true life story of professional British criminal John McVicar, the film strongly depicts the brutal aspects of British prison life and follows McVicar into his eventual rehabilitation.
