A terribly written and acted portral of what could have been a good film.
The north east gangland story throughout the 80's & 90's is a fascinating one and this film is a biased account and done zero justice covering the many aspects and rivalries at the time. It would make a good film if done independently with a good script and a half decent production. All things this film lacks.
The inconsistencies in the timeline, poor staging, terrible/repeat use of props across different decades, bad actors, butchering real life characters, awful narrating, jumping to different points in time and events with zero context or relevance all lead to 2 hours of my life I'll never get back!
I realise budgets were tight during production, but there is no way it could have made it past the edit room and for those involved to be happy with it.
I seriously wouldn't bother, and is definitely not worth the money to rent / buy.
