    Considine takes the lead in this sequel set 6 years later. In this time the notoriety of the Yorkshire Ripper has escalated into an out of control media circus. Considine leads a "super squad" of cops to start the investigation from scratch. Unfortunately he gets a lot more than ...( read more)he bargained for when he begins to question one of the victims attributed to the Yorkshire Ripper. Once again dealing with similar themes and a similar character, just replacing idealistic journalist with idealistic cop, this ran the risk of feeling a bit samey. Luckily the direction and performances are all different, as is the general aesthetic. Once again it's a dark and powerful drama that shows what can be done with talent, time and money.
