A New Breed of Criminal (2023)
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.
