Feature-length narrative film theatrically released in the UK. An orphaned Jamaican baby is adopted by an elderly white couple and brought up in an all white area of London and becomes one of the most feared and respected men in Britain. Based on a true story. (Directed by Jon S. Baird)
"Jon S Baird's Cass is a superior British crime movie based on the autobiography of Cass Pennant, a black orphan adopted by a working-class London couple, who found a sense of identity as a football hooligan heading a West Ham firm. After being sent down for four years, he organised the bouncers for a gangland boss's clubs before seeing the light. The massive Nonso Anozie (so good as the physiotherapist in Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky) is a memorable presence as Cass (he's like a British Michael Clark Duncan), Linda Bassett and Peter Wight are excellent as the foster parents, and Nathalie Press makes something interesting out of the conventional part of his loving wife."
