WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Edmond (McAvoy) receives a call from his ex-wife Joan (Foy) that their seven-year-old son has gone missing at a campsite. As the search gets underway, Edmond slowly realises that his son has been kidnapped, and that there is a dark plot unfolding that only he can solve…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

James McAvoy is very much central to this nail-biting mystery, with the actor not being given a script at any point during filming, meaning that all of his improvised actions are real as he tries to piece things together at the same time as the audience.
