I must say the poster tagline "They were glad to see him die" is a bit misleading but no spoilers. A good watch at 93 minutes indeed!

The Ballad of Billy McCrae is a story of love and hate and murder, set against the backdrop of industrial South Wales. A taut psychological thriller about three compelling, flawed, iconic characters. This is a classic film noir full of emotional danger and sensual attraction.

'The Ballad Of Billy McCrae' is a film about damage and dysfunction, a film about flawed people, emotionally stunted people, people who can't see far beyond their own desires, dreams and greed.
