A New Breed of Criminal

Bless Steve Wraith , the lad so wants to be an actor ....but he's not .Ive seen him in a few things and he's more wooden than Pinocchio's left leg .He seems to stiffen up whenever he has to move .I found myself questioning the actual point of 99% of the film and after sitting through the whole film (in 3 separate sittings) I feel I should punish myself , especially after paying for the privilege. I have an old rusty tin opener in the shed and later on today I will gouge both of my eyes out in an attempt tempt to cleanse my body and what's left of my soul. It makes Rise of the Footsoldier 7 look like Gone With The Wind. I feel I should mention the accent of the lead detective , I can only describe it as sounding like An American Joe Pasquale being violated with a cattle prod. All in all possibly thee worst thing I've ever watched in my life and that includes watching my workmate sneeze in the van causing a large bloodied snot to land on the dashboard.

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.

From the opening scenes and bad lighting, knew this wasn't going to be great.

The narrator even pronounced Elswick with the emphasis on the W, Els Wick, lol

Kept with it hoping to spot places I knew. No nothing to see here, drone shots of the Tyne and a random pub in Consett?

Acting hilarious, at one point thought it was a comedy, it's that bad.

Then realised who Vic was supposed to be and that definitely confirmed it was a comedy.

At one point thought they must of had a Time Machine. Mostly set in the 80's with licence plates of present day and everyone using an I phone.

Save your time and don't bother.

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".

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.
