A New Breed of Criminal

I know nothing of this story and after watching this film I still know nothing of this story. Its what you call a poor poor man's rise of footsoldier, but one of the sequels cos the original was a good film.

I can forgive the bad casting, stupid accents, time scale, dumb costume, laughable fight sequences, wooden characters etc but at the heart of all this is the awful script. I see the lead character wrote this, and sadly it shows. This is my first time watching a Steve Wraith film and sadly it will be my last. The script was gcse level at best. Not one for slatting ppl in industry but this needs to be said... 'Steve, you may read this and think I don't understand the film you made, but I do and it was a badly made one. Sorry but it's true. Plus those who funded the film, are you on drugs?' Anyone who thinks this is even a fair film knows nothing about film so ignore any high reviews.

Like the title says; if you like rubbish, you will certainly like this! What a load of poop.

The acting in this film was hilariously bad. The punch-ups, i.e., The one in the prison, and the one outside the pub was so bad that words actually fail me. The police chief with his ridiculous American accent. Okay guys and girls, I've done the hard work for you I watched this film so that I can warn you "not to watch".

The worst film I've ever seen. Bad lighting, bad acting. Smart phones in the 70s 😂 along with modern police cars and uniforms. Diabolical camera work. Why was there a narrator throughout it just made me cringe with embarrassment. Wraith simply cannot act and should never act again. The judges wig looked like something from the joke shop on the Queyside. Avoid at all costs. The police actors were laughable and I just simply could not take them seriously. The fight scenes were absolutely completely ridiculous with no realism whatsoever. Spent your money on something entertaining rather than watching this tripe.

Believe me when I say this is possibly the worst 'film' ever made.

The acting is atrocious and makes me cringe.

Don't get me started on Steve Wraith. He cannot act, it's depressingly bad to witness and he needs to accept that.

The American cops accent was hideously poor, how it got past the edit just shows you how amateurish this whole venture was.

One thing I did enjoy though was the choreography on the fight scenes, absolutely hilarious, as if it was done by a couple of 12 year olds in their drama class or even still at break time.

Basically to sum it up, I'd recommend this to nobody...

Why do script writers always try to find excuses for hardened criminals. This film tells the story of some very nasty people and excuses their behaviour by focussing on their hard upbringing and environment. Trouble is, it doesn't tell the story very well. The acting is average at best with the exception of the wonderful Nicholas Ball. The prize for the worst acting goes to the actor playing Detective Scott. He uses the strangest attempt at an American accent I have ever heard but why attempt it in the first place. He is from Newcastle playing a Newcastle detective. Did I miss something. Is he supposed to be on secondment from the NYPD? Was the explainer cut? As for the rest of the story it just glosses over these real life criminals making them out to be some sort of urban heroes. They are not.
