Cold, badass British guy who murders Frank.
The sequence when he gets knifed in the leg and blown off the side of the mountain by Hal was one of my favorite scenes, especially the soccer dialogue:
"You like soccah? Great spoht. I was a ****ing good strikah!"
Harlin gave each bad guy their own 'special move':
Delmar: Kills using his 'British soccer skills'.
Kynette: Black man knife skills.
Qualen: Kills girlfriends and intimidates men with camp gestures.
Krystel: Bakes cakes and prepares explosives.
Travers: Knows keycode combinations.
etc.
Except that a British person would never call the sport Soccer.
shareThey might, if they were a 'rugger' fan (the term 'soccer' originates from, and is a corruption of 'association' as in 'Association Football'). It is a British word, originating in Britain.
Up here in Scotland, football (or soccer... ok so the term is now almost archaic in Britain) is frequently referred to as fitba'.
"Oh look - a lovely spider! And it's eating a butterfly!"

No, we dont.
In fact its a source of irritation with Brits if anyone calls it soccer, and they are quick to correct.

From the great British film “This Sporting Life” (1963)
Richard Harris, in his very first movie role, playing a tough northern English coalminer and part-time Rugby League player, who later turns full-time professional

Frank Machin: “We don't have stars in this game, Mrs Weaver, that's soccer.”
Mrs. Anne Weaver: “What *do* you have?”
Frank Machin: “People like me.”
1963....... you'll have to do better than that

I think that was probably 'for the Americans' just like how all nationalities spoke English in older films, but with an accent.
What no one comments on is that Craig Fairbass sounds more australian in this film, even though he's british by the numbers in real life. Rise of the Footsoldier is one of his other good films, he's brutal in that.
Craig is an awesome actor, and I always get a kick out of his voice acting work too (eg the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series games).
sharehim being so evil mean his death is best part of movie: "seasons over asshole!!" hahahahhahah
and then as he falls down cliff travers sees him from far away and say "i said quietly!" hahahhahaha
this film is great action.
