Six Bend Trap (2007)

At the heart of Peterborough's Fengate Stadium, pulsates Europe's wealthiest greyhound race, an electrifying spectacle that serves as the thrilling backdrop for the film, Six Bend Trap. Ignored by the conventional racing calendars, this unique six-bend contest forms the dramatic climax of a movie already earmarked as a 'cult classic'. With its final scenes authentically filmed at Peterborough Stadium, it's a gritty drama brimming with dark humour, echoing the spirit of cinematic gems like The Full Monty and Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels. The narrative orbits around the ruthless and affluent businessman, Gordy Metcalf, masterfully portrayed by ex-East End gangster, Dave Courtney. Metcalf, owner of the country's finest greyhound, is a formidable figure in the dog racing world. However, this isn't a tale of gangster exploits or a critique of greyhound racing. Instead, the film's creator, Mike McCarthy, known for his work on Boys From The Blackstuff and Spender, presents an intense drama that respects the integrity of the sport. The plot weaves a tantalising trap set by an ex-trainer, targeting three underprivileged young men from North East England. These unsuspecting lads find themselves thrust into the competitive world of greyhound racing, training a dog that ultimately challenges Metcalf's champion hound in a nail-biting Peterborough final. This frantic race, run over Fengate's notorious six bends, provides the film's title and a heart-stopping conclusion, ensuring viewers are gripped until the very end. The story of Six Bend Trap promises an intoxicating blend of tension, humour, and the raw reality of life both on and off the racetrack.
