A New Breed of Criminal (2023)
Smart phones... Funko pops... And CR7 celebrations
It was a bad start when kids playing football are doing CR7 goal celebrations in what is ment to be the 70s. Moving through the film the was no thought to generational props. Smart phones and cars with 2022 reg plates in what should have been the 90s early 00s. I'm sure they could have pushed to boat out and got a Nokia 3210.
For me the only redeeming features were.
The lad that played John. I thought he played the part well.
And the final arrest scene I quite liked how it goes back to the childhood scenes.
Other than that it was very week acting there are plenty of north east actors that could of been cast to make this a more believable and well rounded film.
In terms of British gangster films this has got to be 1 of the worst. Which is disappointing as all the books written about the northeast gangland in this era are very good.
