Watch UK Trailer For A Violent Man Starring Craig Fairbrass
Craig Fairbrass over the years in film has certainly shown he can handle himself. Early next year he will once again in A Violent Man and Vertigo Releasing unveil the film’s UK Trailer.
The film is the directorial feature debut for actor turned director Ross McCall (White Collar, 24, Band of Brothers). Formerly called Ire, Fairbrass plays Steve Mickleson a dangerous, violent prisoner incarcerated for a double murder. Drowning in his past sins and turmoil, he’s always in the search for carnage. He takes his new young cell mate Marcus (Stephen Odubola), the pair become marked targets. At the same time will Steve accept a request from his estranged daughter and put her in danger’s way too?
Sadly this type of British genre film is drowning in the endless number of similar films. It looks solid stuff, just hope there is something that makes this one stand above the rest.
