Ewan McGregor is back on the big screen at the end of the month as he leads the cast in new crime thriller Son of a Gun.

Son Of A Gun

Son of a Gun will see McGregor team up with filmmaker Julius Avery for the first time, as he make the lead from shorts to make his feature film directorial debut with this project.

As well as being in the director's chair, Avery has penned the screenplay for what looks set to be an action packed ride. He has also assembled an impressive cast list, as McGregor is joined by Brenton Thwaites and Alicia Vikander.

Thwaites and Vikander are both up and coming stars with a very busy twelve months ahead of them - these are two actors that you really need to keep an eye out for in 2015.

Locked up for a minor crime, 19 year old JR (Thwaites) quickly learns the harsh realities of prison life. Protection, if you can get it, is paramount. JR soon finds himself under the watchful eye of Australia's most notorious criminal, Brendan Lynch (McGregor).

But protection comes at a price; Lynch and his crew have plans for their young protégée. Upon release, JR must help secure Lynch's freedom, staging a daring prison break and joining his crew as they plan a gold heist that promises to deliver millions.

However, as things start to go wrong, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues. JR finds himself unsure of whom he can trust and on a collision course with his former mentor.

January is a packed month for 'must see' movies and Son of a Gun is promising to be one that is not to be missed.
