Ten years after the body of a mutilated girl was found in Yorkshire, another young girl is missing. Lawyer John Piggott (Mark Addy) is asked to re-examine the conviction of a disabled man who confessed to the earlier murders and now claims he did so under intense police pressure. As Piggott looks into whether the Yorkshire police tortured their suspect, Detective Jobson (David Morrissey) starts to regret his brutal past and reveals a secret that casts the entire case in a new light.

4/4

There's still a great deal of satisfaction to be had in both the resolution of the plot's many mysteries and the thematic throughlines of the three films.

B+

Stands as a wrenching tale of power abused and lives discarded. It is powerful stuff.

Anand Tucker's direction and Tony Grisoni's screenplay aren't perfect but is yet another work that stands relatively well on its own but is made infinitely better when viewed in the light of the first two films.

3.5/4

An extremely satisfying conclusion to a monumental series of films that in sum will reward audiences willing to confront the otherwise harsh, unforgiving material.

3/4

Beautifully filmed, and is more satisfying in its connection to the first film, providing much needed closure to a series marked by its stubborn refusal to offer any such comforting affectations.

The concluding entry in the trilogy with a somewhat satisfying ending that still leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.
