In part two of the trilogy about police corruption in West Yorkshire, there is little focus on the search for the notorious Yorkshire Ripper, but rather on the animosity between corrupt police officers, who obstruct the investigation in every possible way. With such enforcers of the law, you don't need underworld figures...

The investigation into The Yorkshire Ripper has come to a complete standstill in 1980. The Home Office therefore decides to intervene by bringing in someone from outside to start the investigation from scratch, in the hope that a fresh look at the case will lead to a breakthrough. The choice falls on Peter Hunter [Paddy Considine], who soon discovers that he cannot count on full cooperation from the police. In addition, he is struggling with problems in his relationships, but these pale in comparison to the problems that arise when he discovers that there is most likely a second murderer involved.

James Marsh took over as director for this second installment of the trilogy, and it’s less bleak than the first. This is a more traditional mystery with good supporting work again from Sean Harris as Bob Craven, the corrupt cop who was beaten up by Eddie Dunford at the end of part 1, and Robert Sheehan as the (still mysterious) BJ. But the film is held together mainly by a strong central performance from Considine and Maxine Peake as the assistant with whom Hunter has been having an affair.

Considine gives a good performance in this thriller, which is again about corrupting power within the Yorkshire scene. The Karachi club killing links well to the first part of the trilogy and lifts a corner of the veil that there are such great interests within the police/justice system in Yorkshire that 'opponents' and people who dig too deep are eliminated.
