Evaluation- How are social groups represented in Our production

How are social groups represented in our production?:
Within our production film we have different characters which are stereotyped typically, we have two ex-soldiers who go off to join in with a drug deal with Lithuanians, they are stereotyped as killers and adrenalin junkies as they are dealing drugs mainly for kicks, and enjoyment. They are also terrorised by the war and haunted by the war crimes they have had to commit. We also have filthy frank who is the main antagonist of our movie; he is represented as a typical thuggish character and exchanges drugs with the two ex-soldiers, he is represented as being adept at fighting as the end scene shows him besting Lewis Hall in unarmed combat, so he isn't the stereotypical muscle bound thug who uses nothing but brute strength.
The different shots and angles within our trailer show close up shots of Lewis hall’s face when he is having a gun being pointed at his face, it shows a scared expression as he is about to die, this comes into direct contradiction that soldiers are fearless due to wartime experience. We also 
Young men in thrillers and in action films tend to be represented as violent and traditionally masculine and this is something that we have adhered to in our production because all the characters are men and are aggressive and masculine as the testosterone-driven ambitions of our characters being involved in crime to ‘make something of themselves’ show this within our film, filthy frank is typically thuggish and Lewis hall and the other characters need to be aggressive in order to avoid jail and survive.
In action films we also have a villain who tends to be killed very early on as almost a minor villain in our production this adheres because we have the other gangster who is out of the production early on replicating this also the stereotypical representation of him being feminine and we imagine ourselves to be the protagonist to give him a good kick in.
