Watched EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM (2021). Imagine photocopying an action film, then photocopying the copy over and over. Eventually, you’d get something like this.

Can you help?
We would love to get in touch with star of 'The Brothers', Malcolm Stoddard?
Does anybody out there know Malcolm? Or is able to connect us with him? Please get in touch if you can help. Many thanks.
