"Guns don’t kill people; insecure, overcompensating idiots do."

Variety

 

"Ben Wheatley's latest carnival of carnage."

The Hollywood Reporter

 

"Ideology is thrown out the window, civility too, as everybody winds up being blood sacrifice to the name of the great god gunpowder"

Vanyaland

 

Hot on the heels of his last feature High-Rise, Ben Wheatley (Sightseers, A Field In England) surprises with this all-guns-blazing action thriller. 

 

America, 1978: Justine (Brie Larson) has arranged a deal on behalf of two Irishmen (Cillian Murphy, Michael Smiley) to buy a stash of guns from gangsters Vernon (Sharlto Copley) and Ord (Armie Hammer), but then there’s a misunderstanding and shots are fired … The standout cast have great fun with this shoot-’em-up and the playful script’s wry dialogue, as the manic standoff escalates into a bloody game of survival.
