Tiger Raid is set to hit the big screen on 7th October.
Tiger Raid
Tiger Raid marks the feature film directorial debut of Simon Dixon, who also teamed up with Mick Donnellan and Gareth Evans to pen the film's screenplay.
We have been treated to a whole host of directorial debuts already this year and Dixon is another exciting filmmaking talent to watch out for.
Brian Gleeson and Damien Molony will take on the central roles of Joe and Paddy and are joined on the cast list by Sofia Boutella and Rory Fleck Byrne.
Joe (Gleeson) and Paddy (Molony) are members of a private security crew working in the Middle East travelling through an inhospitable desert and assigned to kidnap Shadha (Sofia Boutella: Kingsman), the daughter of a powerful man as part of a major robbery - a Tiger Raid.
Joe, the older of the two, carries a brutal and unrepentant view of the world, defined by fear and adoration of their invisible but omnipresent boss but Paddy is younger and recklessly ambitious, hungry to progress through the ranks of the crew. Neither man trusts the other as they tell half-truths and stories of previous victories in a battle to determine who controls this increasingly volatile situation.
As the raid progresses, deeply hidden truths about both men's pasts are revealed, fracturing their already fragile relationship and forcing them to face up to who they really are in order to survive its violent and shocking conclusion.
Tiger Raid premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, where it was met well, before going to screen at the Edinburgh International Film Festival at the beginning of the summer.
Tiger Raid is released in select cinemas on 7th October and on DVD on 17th October.
