A very good fast moving film based on a true story

I really enjoyed this film. It is mostly filmed in the north east of England it charts the rise and fall of Stephen Sayers and his brothers. It is full of action and features many new actors from the north east. The film opens showing Stephen as a young boy and his constant training by a brutal father of how to act if he was arrested. It shows how hard his home life was and how his disrespect of the law was culminated. Starting with petty crime he rose to the really big crimes in the north organising and undertaking some of the biggest robberies in the country. It also shows however no matter how well organised his crimes were they could fail on the smallest of oversights. This film is a good watch throughout and shows that crime really doesn't pay in the end.

Terrible film

The filum reminds me of a home movie a group of friends have made for a Community Service project, Wraith is as intimidating as a Greggs Steak Slice in the lead role.

The rest of the filums "stars" are are right motley crew of strays and you can certainly tell that the only previous acting they have done has been at their PIP assessments or other DSS related blags.

Delving a little deeper into the people who the filum is about opens a huge Pandoras box, especially considering recent events in the NE involving Hearses, St James's Park, box vans and properties being attacked with tins of black paint.

It's obviously a completely fictional account and should be seen as such Don't bother.

Total garbage from the very start

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.
